What is the AGM?

How do I vote?

You can vote by post, online or in person at the Meeting. To vote online, you will need your unique security codes from your AGM pack. If you have received your AGM pack by email, please use the link provided.

Make your vote count for charity

For every postal vote cast we will make a 10p donation to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (up to a maximum total of £25,000). If the vote is cast online, we will double that donation to 20p.

Serving the communities of six Midlands counties (the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire), Midlands Air Ambulance Charity carries out an average of 2,000 missions every year in response to emergencies where there is a potential fatality or major trauma injury.

It runs three air ambulance aircraft, each carrying a pilot, two paramedics or a paramedic and flight doctor, plus full life-support medical equipment. There is also a Critical Care Car operating within the Black Country and Birmingham.

The charity does not receive contributions from the Government or National Lottery, instead relying on local people and businesses to raise the £9 million per annum needed to fund its life-saving services.

Who can vote at the AGM?

To be eligible to vote at the West Brom AGM you must:

a. be at least 18 years old on the date of the AGM; and

b. be a sole or first-named account holder in our records; and

c. either;

i. have a balance of at least £100 in your investment share account(s) with the Society on 31 March, and have continued to hold an investment share account(s) with the Society between 31 March and the voting date; or

ii. have owed the Society not less than £100 on your mortgage account(s) on 31 March and on the voting date.

No matter how many savings or mortgage accounts you may have, you are only entitled to vote once. To be eligible to vote, the Society Rules require that you are a sole or first-named account holder in the Society’s records. Therefore if you have a joint account, the AGM pack will only be addressed to the first-named account holder.
