Air ambulance charity appeals for shop donations and volunteers

The retail team at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) are looking for public donations to help stock its newest store which has opened at Merry Hill.

MAAC operates six charity shops across the region, and this latest addition is the only charity shop located in Merry Hill, one of the UK 's largest retail destinations.

The pre-hospital emergency service is appealing for donations of pre-loved goods. Items that the charity is looking for include, electricals, clothing, shoes, toys, bric-a-brac, books and media and linen. Donations can be made at the charity 's HQ, situated just two miles from the new shop at Hawthorn House on the Dudley Road (DY9 8BQ).

There are two donation stations based inside the reception area of the head office building. For donations of bigger items such as pre-loved furniture, which can be collected for free within a ten-mile radius of Merry Hill, please call the charity on 0800 8 40 20 40.

The charity is also looking to recruit a team of dedicated volunteers to join the MAAC family and help run the new store.

MAAC said there are a range of exciting roles available at Merry Hill, which are perfect for those looking for retail experience and to gain new skills.
