Midlands Air Ambulance Charity marked its milestone 35th anniversary with an evening of celebration, recognition and fundraising at its annual Saving Lives Charity Ball, held on Friday 25 September 2026 at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham.

Hosted by broadcaster and Deputy Lieutenant Ed James, and supported by headline sponsor EBC Group, the black‑tie event brought together supporters, fundraisers, volunteers, corporate partners and friends of the charity. 

The evening also welcomed celebrity supporters, Annette Badland, Paul Chuckle MBE, Kash “The Flash” Gill, Dave Heeley OBE, Mark Hayes and Steve Harris MBE, who joined guests in celebrating this year’s winners and helping raise vital funds for the charity’s lifesaving missions.

The event generated a record £88,901.60, with T H Baker donating £4,935.60 from jewellery sales made during the evening. The donations will help to fund approximately 58 lifesaving missions across the Midlands. Guests enjoyed a drinks reception, three‑course dinner, awards presentation, live entertainment and a variety of fundraising activities, all designed to recognise the people and organisations who make the charity’s work possible.
