This year, we’ve chosen to support Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) as our Charity of the Year because what they do is truly extraordinary.

When someone is seriously unwell or injured, you don’t get a second chance during those first few minutes. EHAAT brings the hospital to the patient, delivering expert critical care at the roadside, at home, or wherever it’s needed.

Instead of client gifts, we’re giving to a service that saves lives

Rather than sending client gifts, Data Energy donated the money we would have spent to Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) to help fund life-saving missions, because when emergencies happen, every second really does matter. We’re also inviting our clients, partners, friends and colleagues to get involved too, and help keep this incredible service flying.

Our goal: fund 2 life-saving missions

We’re aiming to raise £5,600, enough for two life-saving missions (£2,800 each).

Every donation helps keep the crew ready to respond, with the specialist equipment and clinical expertise that can make all the difference.

Why it matters to us (Cerease’s story)

This cause is especially close to our hearts. In June 2023, our colleague Cerease (Data Energy) experienced a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. For a short while, the symptoms didn’t seem like anything serious. Then suddenly, she became extremely unwell with intense pain.

When paramedics arrived, they realised her blood pressure was dangerously low and she needed urgent support. They made the call to bring in the air ambulance.

The EHAAT crew arrived quickly. With the equipment and expertise onboard, the doctor was able to locate a vein using ultrasound and give the fluids, medication and pain relief Cerease needed to be stabilised and safely transferred to hospital. She later received blood transfusions and emergency surgery.

Cerease is very clear about one thing: if the air ambulance team hadn’t reached her when they did, she might not be here today.

What surprised her afterwards was learning that EHAAT is a charity, funded by donations. That means every mission relies on people choosing to help.

Thank you

If you’re able to donate, thank you - genuinely. And if you can share this page as well, that helps more than you might think.

We’re proud to support EHAAT, and we’d love to hit our target to help fund two missions that could save two families from the unthinkable.
