Gift Aid is a finance tool for charities, boosting their supporters' donations by 25 per cent at no extra cost.
For every £1 donated, the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity can claim 25p from HMRC, at no extra cost to their supporters.
Emma Wood, head of fundraising, said: "In the last nine months, our amazing supporters who have signed a Gift Aid declaration have helped us generated an extra £90,000, which in turn has made an additional 58 lifesaving missions possible in our local communities."
