This fund is in memory of William – twin brother of Matthew, younger brother of Isobel and the youngest (by 11 minutes) son of Teresa and Richard.

William died suddenly at school on 25 February 2022 despite attempts to resuscitate him by his friend, paramedics, the London Air Ambulance and the team at Croydon University Hospital. He was a month away from his sixteenth birthday. We found out afterwards that he had an undiagnosed congenital heart defect.

We all miss William: his smile, his kindness and his love for our family. William (Will to his friends) was full of life and loved nothing more than a day at Thorpe Park or Chessington riding rollercoasters. He enjoyed playing the trumpet, performing with Wandsworth Music and various school bands, and was a talented artist. He liked going to Craven Cottage to support Fulham, watching TV with his brother, listening to music and spending time with his friends who were very important to him. The Suffolk coast has a special place in all our hearts and it is where William rests now, looking out over the North Sea.

Trying to sum up our lovely boy here is impossible. We love him and miss him so much, and always will. Supporting CRY’s vital work brings hope that other families will be spared our terrible loss.

This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death through supporting CRY’s research programme.

The aim is to fund research into the causes and prevention of young sudden cardiac death.

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.
