STAFF at a Redditch hair salon have raised almost £200 for the Midlands Air Ambulance.

Scissors Hair Design, in Winyates centre, recently held a fundraising day for the charity, responsible for funding and operating three Air Ambulances.

There were a number of games and activities, homemade cakes and knitted items for sale as well as a raffle and tombolla.

Leanne Bovington, from the salon, said: “It was a great day, we all had a brilliant time.

“A big thank you deserves to go out to everyone who was involved and especially to all those who kindly donated.”

The Midlands Air Ambulance receives no government or National Lottery funding and needs £6 million each year to keep going.
