The East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is a lifeline for our communities, providing critical helicopter emergency medical services across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Bedfordshire. Founded in 2000 through the heartfelt efforts of jockey Frankie Dettori, this dedicated service operates around the clock, 365 days a year, ensuring that help is always just a call away when lives are on the line.


Similarly, YANA Charity, which stands for "You Are Not Alone," offers compassionate support to those working in agriculture and rural businesses throughout East Anglia. Since its inception in 2008, YANA has been committed to improving mental health and well-being in farming and rural communities. They provide free, confidential support for individuals aged 18 and older, and have grown to become an independent charity that actively seeks to combat the stigma surrounding mental health.
