How your donations make a difference

Supporting our volunteers

When someone calls 999, it’s our community first responders (CFRs) who are often first on the scene. These volunteers live in the communities they serve and administer life-saving care in those vital minutes before an ambulance crew arrives.

Your donation funds CFRs' training and provides the equipment they need to treat patients experiencing life-threatening emergencies, like cardiac arrests, heart attacks, breathing difficulties and strokes.

Funding new equipment

Thanks to donations from the public, we’ve been able to buy life-saving equipment like defibrillators, new uniforms and various training aids.

Your donations also ensure we’re able to improve our training and update resources, like our guidance books and textbooks for clinicians.

Ensuring the wellbeing of the team

By coast or in the city, our compassionate team is here 24/7 to take care of people in emergency situations. Your donation could help us take care of their health and wellbeing, too.

We use the funds you donate to train staff and improve their sites' facilities, such as installing wellbeing gardens and new benches.

Helping our local communities

We run various community education and training programmes across the east of England. For example, EEAST Heart teaches the public essential Basic Life Support (BLS) skills. This course is taught by qualified staff and volunteers and is completely funded by our supporters.
