Adam Dearnley

Adam Dearnley

Adam, aged just 26, passed away suddenly at work and without any prior symptoms whatsoever, leaving us all in total shock and disbelief at what had happened. Like many other families affected in this way, we are setting up a memorial fund in Adam’s name.

Adam was a fit and healthy young man who had everything to look forward to, having settled into a new job, just bought his first car and moving on with his life.

Adam loved being in the outdoors and helping others.  Through Scouting, he was able to combine these interests – he had been a leader with both the Cubs and Scouts, was the District Media Manager and involved with many scouting activities throughout Nottinghamshire.  Adam was a qualified kayaking instructor with Nottinghamshire Scouts.

 

Adam enjoyed walking, swimming, cycling, camping, family holidays and following Notts County.  Playing his guitar, he would naturally pick tunes from the 40s, 50s and 60s and loved attending the Twinwood vintage music festival every year.  Adam loved history and tradition but was also very at ease with the latest IT and had graduated as a digital designer.

Adam enjoyed a good cup of tea, a quality coffee and a tasty pint!

This fundraising page is Adam’s legacy, hopefully in some small way, it will help CRY help other families similarly affected and reduce the instances of these tragedies happening in the future. 

This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) raise awareness of young sudden cardiac death, support those affected, support CRY’s screening programme and fund research and pathology.

Claim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Cardiac Risk in the Young to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Cardiac Risk in the Young we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Cardiac Risk in the Young to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Cardiac Risk in the Young will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Cardiac Risk in the Young receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
