The new store, in High Street, Rugby, is the first shop to specifically raise money for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

The Coventry-based aircraft covers an area of 2,000 square miles and has carried out 7,000 missions over the past five years.

Each mission costs £1,000 and the service relies on public donations.

The service covers Coventry, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes and other towns such as Market Harborough, Banbury and Solihull.

It costs about £1.5m per year to run.

The store is opening on Monday
