The Tipton's Charity Committee

Each year, the Society's employees get together to fundraise for a chosen charity. Since 2018 we have been supporting the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity who operate and fund three air ambulances covering six Midlands counties. Midlands Air Ambulance Charity receives no Government funding and operates solely on donations and sponsorship.  

During 2022, Society staff, family and customers raised an impressive £6,600 through a range of activities.
