Corporate fundraising
The lives of seriously injured and ill people across East Anglia are being saved today because of the businesses that support us. Thank you.
East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is a charity which is independent from the NHS and Ambulance Trusts and receives no regular government funding, relying almost entirely on public support.
No matter the size of your business, there are a number of ways to get on board as a corporate partner. Our enthusiastic team of fundraisers will take the time to get to know you and your business and find out what you’d like to achieve from working together with EAAA.
Named Best Charity to Work For in the 2021 national Best Company awards, EAAA is one of the most recognised and trusted charities in the region. Working with us offers exciting PR opportunities, as well as building awareness and positivity about your own brand.
Sign up to Flightpath, the newsletter specifically written for the businesses that support EAAA. Sent quarterly, the e-newsletter highlights the life-saving impact that support from businesses has, and how you help us to do this, as well as how we might be able to help you tackle some of the challenges your business faces.
Together we can find solutions – EAAA look for partners that are well aligned with our values and, through working together, achieve shared goals in our local communities. Our strategy is to continually improve patient outcomes by research, innovation, collaboration, and high-quality clinical education. Through a robust and sustainable income stream that allows us to invest in high-performing staff and the best equipment we can afford, EAAA delivers the very best services to patients and your community.
We’re looking for partners who can help us achieve this. If your business aligns with our brand, we’d love to have a chat about setting some shared goals.
Charity of the Year
Choosing EAAA as your Charity of the Year is an excellent way to boost employee morale, increase awareness of your brand and demonstrate your commitment to your local community. Your dedicated account manager will help you plan your year and support your fundraising activity in line with your objectives.
Let us know if you have the opportunity to nominate EAAA as your workplace Charity of the Year so we can support you through the selection process.
Corporate sponsorship
Corporate sponsorship helps to save lives. We have a wide range of events, campaigns and equipment that your business could sponsor.
One-off donations
EAAA is hugely grateful for one-off donations. Sometimes businesses nominate EAAA to receive a donation from a central fund or prefer to make a donation without taking part in an activity or putting a label on it. Online donations can be made here.
Commercial participation
If your business already sells products or delivers services to customers, you could raise money for EAAA by donating a percentage or portion of each sale price of a particular item. For example, you could be a florist donating £1.00 from every bunch of flowers sold or a garage donating 2% from each car service sold. Raising money in this way can increase your sales, brand awareness and customer loyalty.
Watch our video to hear from Stuart Wyle, our Director of Fundraising and Supporters explaining this further. Please email info@eaaa.org.uk if you’d like to partner with us in this way.
Become a Navigator business by funding a mission
By funding one of EAAA’s missions, your business guarantees the very best possible chance of survival for a local person in their hour of greatest need. Your support ensures that expert critical care is rapidly dispatched to the scene and helps keep families and communities together.
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a simple way for your employees to give to EAAA.
Donations are taken each payday from your salary before tax, which means more money goes to charity. Speak to your Payroll Department to see if your workplace is set up to support charities through Payroll Giving. If not, please get in touch to see if we can help.
Lottery Syndicates
Syndicates offer a fun and engaging way for groups to enter the lottery. It also increases everyone’s chances of winning. If you’re interested in setting up a syndicate within your company, contact us today.
Recycled goods
For every tonne of clothing recycled with our textile recycling partner, Recycling Solutions, EAAA will receive at least £200. Not only does this initiative support our life-saving service, but it can also help you achieve your environmental goals by reducing the amount of unwanted clothing being sent to landfill.

CPR training
Cardiac arrests account for a quarter of the medical emergencies to which EAAA is tasked. When every second counts, many lives can be saved each year by the combination of early bystander CPR and defibrillation. We deliver free one-hour CPR and AED training to groups.
