The milestone was reached through a recycling scheme in partnership with Recycling Solutions, which has managed more than 340 Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA)-branded textile banks since January 2020. Each month, more than 90 tonnes of clothing and textiles are donated, with wearable items resold in second-hand shops around the world and non-wearable items recycled into materials like insulation or cleaning cloths.

Wendy Yarney, recycling bank coordinator at Recycling Solutions, added: "Reaching £1 million in donations for Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a milestone our whole team is proud to celebrate. "It’s inspiring to see how the simple act of donating unwanted clothing can have such a far-reaching impact, both for the environment and for people in urgent need of medical care."
