Two local partnering organisations, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and Tipton & Coseley Building Society are celebrating the success of their affinity scheme in addition to their two milestone anniversaries. To commemorate the partnership, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity will also be holding a silent auction of an official signed Wolverhampton Wanderers FC shirt, kindly donated by Tipton & Coseley Building Society.

Whilst Black Country-based Tipton & Coseley Building Society is turning 120 this year, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is a quarter of the way there, celebrating its Air30 30th birthday this year.

The silent auction of the official signed Wolverhampton Wanderers FC shirt opens on Monday 31st May with the winner announced on Friday 11th June ahead of the first Euros 2021 match. To enter, email the amount you would like to bid to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Jon Cottrell, senior partnerships executive for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “2021 is shaping up to be an exciting year for our partnership with Tipton and Coseley Building Society.

“As a football fan myself, I’m excited to get our silent auction launched to raise vital funds for our pre-hospital emergency service and strengthen the partnership.”

As part of the Tipton’s support of the charity, the building society launched the 30-Day Notice Midlands Air Ambulance Saver in 2020. It is a socially responsible savings account for those that want to save lives as well as their pennies. Not only will customers earn 0.40% gross/AER on their balance, but the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s rapid response emergency service will earn funds at no additional cost to the account holders.

Stephen James, from the West Midlands, a Midlands Air Ambulance savings account holder, said: “The Tipton’s Saver has allowed me to have a realistic interest rate and has resulted in further funds for the charity’s essential work.”
