The County Air Ambulance Trust is the Region's oldest independent air ambulance charity, launched in March 1993.

It was founded to help ensure the financial future of the first red air ambulance helicopter based at Cosford.

Since those early days the number of air ambulances in the region has increased to six with a total of thirty now providing essential cover in England and Wales.

The County Air Ambulance Trust continues to offer financial support to the three Air Ambulance charities in the region in a grant making capacity to fund operational costs and infrastructure projects.

Regular Grants for example are made to assist in the running costs for the Midlands Air Ambulances and Great Western Air Ambulance.

Grants are also made for specific infrastructure projects and the County Air Ambulance funded the development costs for the arrival of the helicopter at Strensham and the visitor centre and operational base at Cosford.
