21. Data Protection Act

Entrants and competitors are advised that information supplied on the Entry Form will be held on a

computer and used for the administration of the event.

The Knutsford Targa Rally proudly supports Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, and as part of our event we hope to

raise a considerable sum of money for MAAC to enable them to continue their hard work and lifesaving service.

Please give generously as air ambulance charities save lives, and you never know if or when you might need them,

so please tick the donate option on your entry and help keep the service going.

Midlands Air Ambulance is the charity responsible for funding and operating three air ambulances serving the

communities of six Midlands counties: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire

and the West Midlands. This constitutes the largest air ambulance operating region in the UK. The charity also

provides secondary cover to the surrounding areas, such as Warwickshire and mid Wales.

Since 1991, the charity has responded to more than 47,000 missions averaging 2,000 per year, making it one of the

longest established and busiest air ambulance organisations in the UK.

The charity’s three aircraft each carry a crew comprising pilot, two paramedics or flight doctors plus full life-

support medical equipment. Operating from strategically located regional airbases, 90 per cent of the region is

within reach within eight minutes.

If a patient reaches hospital within the Golden Hour (60 minutes after their injury) their chances of survival are

dramatically increased. That is why the rapid response of the Midlands Air Ambulance is so vital in an emergency

situation.

What is not widely known is that Midlands Air Ambulance receives no Government or National Lottery funding.

Each Midlands Air Ambulance mission costs £2,500 and in excess of £7 million is needed each year to keep its

three air ambulances operational, which is donated entirely by the public and local businesses, with four in ten of

those we help funded by Gifts in Wills.

The charity is fortunate to count on tremendous public support and good will, but never takes this for granted.

Winning and keeping hearts and minds is an essential and constant challenge. That is why it regards the real

‘helicopter heroes’ as not only the aircrew, but those often unsung ground heroes, its fundraisers.
