Fundraising
Fundraising Help Urgently Needed
It is always difficult for Responders to find time to assist with fundraising events because of their duty commitments. If you feel able to assist at such events, we would be delighted to welcome you.
Contact info@eastbourneresponders.com
Donate
Most would assume that our equipment would be provided by the Ambulance Service. but our equipment and running costs are paid for through our fundraising efforts, public donations, grants or support from local companies. We can only do the things we do through people like you.
For information please email our Treasurer - treasurer@eastbourneresponders.com
