Much loved TV presenter and radio host Vernon Kay and highly respected ITN news anchor and broadcaster Nina Hossain have been confirmed as joint hosts to present the much-anticipated Midlands Air Ambulance Recognition Awards and Charity Ball, taking place on June 15 at The Vox at Resorts World in Birmingham.

Vernon Kay and Nina Hossain will jointly host the event, which is now in its sixth year to recognise some of the incredible individuals who support the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. Volunteers, fundraisers, supporters and corporate partners as well as the aircrew and those who have demonstrated incredible bravery will be celebrated on the glittering evening which will be attended by a number of celebrity and sporting ambassadors who support the charity.

Commenting on the awards, Vernon Kay said: “The fact this invaluable service is funded entirely by charity donations means nights like this are extremely important to the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. It’s going to be a great night with lots to celebrate and several deserving winners of the recognition awards, so I’m truly looking forward to being part of this memorable evening.”

Co-host, Nina Hossain who also co presented the awards last year with pop star Jason Donovan, added: “ I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to have been asked back again this year to co-host these incredible awards. The annual recognition awards are an opportunity for us to shine a light on the incredible bravery of former patients and the heroism of paramedics and aircrew. But it is also an opportunity to acknowledge the incredible dedication of the volunteers and fundraisers who work tirelessly to support the lifesaving work of the charity.”
