The charity is urging people to host their cheese-inspired events to raise awareness and funds during National Air Ambulance week, which takes place from September 10 to 16.

The event, called Maac'n'Cheese, is open to anybody who wants to plan an event, with details and suggestions on the MAAC website.

Abbie Hawkins, events coordinator for the charity, said: “MAAC’N’CHEESE is a really fun and simple way for our supporters to help raise funds, and a great excuse to catch up with colleagues and friends.

“The idea is that people host their own get together, providing refreshments or asking friends or colleagues to each bring something along, hopefully tucking in to lots of cheese and making fundraising fun.”
