Fundraise
The most important member of our crew? That would be you.
You Make It Happen
We’re fuelled by supporter donations so, when we partner with the ambulance service across the most serious of incidents and medical emergencies, it’s your fundraising that makes it possible.
We love being cheerleaders for our fundraisers – so whether you’d like to hold an event, run a mile or a marathon, or take on the challenge of a lifetime, we’re here to help and support you every step of the way to make sure you have a great experience with us.
If you need a little bit of inspiration to get started, we have plenty of ideas and resources to help you on your way. We’re also big fans of conversations – in person, over the phone or email – so get in touch on 03450 669 999 or email info@eaaa.org.uk to chat through your plans and ideas. We can also connect you up with your local member of our team, who can provide you with even more support to help take your fundraising to new heights and give you the best possible experience with us.
From collection boxes to critical care cars, bake sales to blood transfusions, you’re the crucial cog that makes it all happen – and for that, we’re super thankful.

We’ve got plenty of helpful resources and information ready for you to download and kick-start your fundraising! If you’d prefer something in print, simply request a fundraising pack and we’ll pop it in the post.

How to pay in your fundraising
Keeping it safe, secure and convenient for you, we have several pays you can pay in your lifesaving fundraising.
Community events
A big challenge or coffee morning and bake sale? Whatever your vibe, there is an event for you which other supporters and fundraisers have organised! Browse what’s on or add yours here.
Challenge Badge
Learn lifesaving skills by joining our amazing Challenge Badge crew! Designed for 10-14-year-olds, this badge is packed with exciting, hands-on activities for schools and youth groups across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. It’s educational, engaging - and loads of fun!
Recycled goods
Clear out your wardrobe and turn your unwanted clothes into lifesaving support! For every tonne recycled through Recycling Solutions - our trusted textile recycling partner – we’ll receive at least £200. It’s a win-win: you’ll help provide critical care and reduce landfill waste at the same time.
Trade up challenge
Is your group or club ready for the Trade-Up Challenge? It’s our annual fundraising competition and it’s all about turning £100 into £1,000 (or more!). Compete with other like-minded teams across East Anglia and see who can raise the most, the fastest!
Collection boxes
They’re our most important pieces of lifesaving equipment. If you’d like one for your community, or have a box that needs emptying, please get in touch.
