Help to save lives by donating your time to East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) It’s just not donations that keep the East Anglian Air Ambulance flying and saving lives, the charity also rely on an army of helpful and passionate volunteers too, who can give us much or as little time as they like. From volunteering to be an EAAA ambassador in your area to an occasional volunteer at one-off events, there is a lot you can do to help raise funds and awareness for this lifesaving charity. From giving talks to local groups, representing the charity at cheque presentations, monitoring collection tins in local pubs and centres and banking the monies, there are lots of different ways you can help to save lives on a regular basis, and this can be completely flexible to you and your schedule. EAAA are currently looking for a volunteer collection tin coordinator in Biggleswade, could you help? Or, if you’d like to help out but not so often, EAAA has several fundraising events throughout the year where occasional volunteers are needed to lend a hand on the day and help with things like car parking, marshalling, cheering on participants at the finish line, handing out refreshments or helping to pack goody bags ahead of an event, there are so many different ways to help! There are also periodic events, such as National Air Ambulance Week in September, when EAAA try to organise as many different bucket collections across the region as possible, and this is a time when volunteers really do make all the difference. If you’d like to learn more about the charity and join a friendly, fun loving team of people that take pride in knowing they make a difference by volunteering their time to EAAA, contact Debbie Howland in the Volunteering team for an informal chat about how you might be able to help. Call Debbie on 07703 684 599 or email debbie.howland@eaaa.org.uk
