Midlands Air Ambulance Charity has teamed up with acclaimed local artist, Stacy Hammond, to create a bespoke illustrated map celebrating the six counties the charity proudly serves. The unique artwork shines a light on the iconic landmarks across the region and showcases the charity’s three vital air bases.

The six-county map features:

- Key cultural and historical landmarks across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the West Midlands
- The charity’s three strategically located air bases in Tatenhill, Strensham, and Cosford
- A distinctive artistic style that reflects the vibrancy and diversity of the Midlands

The creative partnership aims to raise awareness of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s lifesaving work while celebrating the rich heritage of the region. The map is featured on a tea towel and shopping bag which are part of the new range of merchandise now available to purchase in the charity’s shops and online at: shop.midlandsairambulance.com

Stacy, known for her whimsical and richly detailed illustrations, brought a unique perspective to the project. Her journey as an artist has been shaped by a deep love the Midlands. She studied art at King Edward’s, Stourbridge Art College, and later Illustration at the University of Wolverhampton, graduating in 2016. It was during lockdown that Stacy truly found her purpose, capturing the local area in a way that helps people see it differently. Her first map was drawn in May 2021and her work has become a tribute to the rich culture and heritage of the Midlands ever since.

To ensure the map proudly reflected the communities it serves, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity invited the public to share their favourite landmarks via social media. The suggestions poured in, helping shape the final design.
