A Powerful Gift for the Future

Gifts in Wills currently fund over a fifth of EAAA’s work; meaning that many of the people being saved by the air ambulance teams today are being helped by the incredible generosity of those no longer with us. It is thanks to these supporters who had the foresight to see how much of an impact they can make by leaving a gift for the future that EAAA has made great leaps in pre-hospital emergency medicine since the charity was established in 2000. Not only providing rapid life-saving treatment at the scene of an accident or medical emergency, but also helping more patients to recover and go on to lead a fulfilling life, often supported by EAAA’s dedicated Aftercare Team. These special gifts, no matter what their shape or size, help to make sure that EAAA can continue to give as many people as possible word-class treatment right at the scene, bringing them the very highest standards of care, using the latest technology to make a difference and save more lives. Lucy Day, Gifts in Wills Manager at EAAA, said: “Planning for the future is important to all of us. We want to make sure that the people and causes that we care about continue to be looked after. Making a Will is an important part of this planning process as it will make sure that your wishes are carried out; making sure that your money and possessions are distributed in the way you choose and that your dependents are looked after as you wish. “A stark reminder of the powerful impact of gifts in Wills on our daily work is our state-of-the-art 24/7 base in Norwich. The development was primarily funded through years of unexpected gifts in Wills which we were able to save and safeguard for the base: for the future of the operation. We’re always incredibly grateful to know that someone has taken the time to think about EAAA and decided to include us in their Will, and have two free and easy ways for you to update or make a Will.”
