Large or small, we’re grateful for every single donation that we receive. Together, we can save lives and make a difference.

Whether you want to fundraise for us, donate regularly or as a one-off, there are lots of ways to give. You can also tell us how you’d like your donation to be spent.
It could be that there’s a specific fund dear to your heart, or a community first responder group that helped a loved one through a medical emergency.
Let us know your wishes, we can try our best to accommodate them.

Add Gift Aid to your donation
When donating, you may be asked if you want to add Gift Aid. Gift Aid allows us to reclaim the tax that you have already paid on your donations.
This means that if you are a UK taxpayer your donation can increase by 25% at no extra cost to you. For every £1 you give, we can reclaim 25p.
Making a gift in memory
You can also donate gifts in memory of loved ones. For example, some people request that instead of flowers at a funeral, friends and relatives make charitable donations instead.
If you would like more information about charitable funds or would like to make a donation, please email charityfunds@eastamb.nhs.uk
Leaving a gift in your will
Leaving a gift in your will to our charity is a wonderful way for your generosity to last beyond your lifetime. What you leave is up to you. It could be a fixed amount or as part of the residue of your estate.
If you would like to do this, contact charityfunds@eastamb.nhs.uk. They can assist you while making or amending your will. We’ll work closely with your solicitors to make sure that your wishes are carried out.
Megan's story
Megan Hilda Carter left a legacy for our fund that helped us purchase 1,000 replacement defibrillator batteries for our community-based defibrillators. These cost £125,000 and were rolled out before Winter 2019/20.
Her generous gift ensured the continued and safe operation of these defibrillators, which are a crucial tool in early response.
