4. Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance Shop
Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance shop, located on Station Street, Mansfield Woodhouse, was recommended by readers. The charity, who has additional charity shops in Mapperley and Wragby, raise funds for the air ambulance service. Crews on average attend four potentially life-saving missions a day but receive no government or NHS funding for their service. Funds raised for the charity means the air ambulance can operate 365 days a year, 24 hours a day across the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire area. Photo: Simon Hulme
