With the help of a £1.8m donation, MAAC is refurbishing its Strensham airbase. Its H135 will be relocated to operating company Babcock's base nearby, allowing full operational capability while the work is being done.

The new facility houses the head office function, airbase, clinical operations and a community education zone. The building is equivalent to the size of two football pitches, with the whole site sitting on 22 acres.

The charity's 70,000th mission was a young motorcyclist, aged 17-years-old at the time, who was involved in a road traffic collision. The youngster is making a good recovery despite still struggling with injuries sustained.
