James’ Place

James’ Place saves the lives of men in suicidal crisis, offering free, life-saving treatment to suicidal men in London, the North East, and the North West. Their professional therapists get quickly to the heart of a man’s suicidal crisis and help him solve it. James’ Place is unique because their treatment plan is proven to work, quick to access and delivered in a safe friendly, non-clinical environment. They have treated over 1,800 suicidal men since 2018 through delivering over 7,500 therapy sessions.


Over the next few years James’ Place aim to open two new centres in England. With five centres open they could treat up to 2,000 men a year once at full capacity. The charity’s aim is that, by the end of 2026, half the male population in England will be within two hours of one their centres.

East Anglian Air Ambulance

East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is a charity providing life-saving critical care 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year by air and road, covering Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire & Suffolk. From road traffic collisions to cardiac arrests and medical emergencies, their specialist doctors, critical care paramedics and pilots bring the advanced skills, equipment and medicine directly to you or your family, in the fastest time possible.


The charity does not receive any regular government funding and instead relies on the generosity of local people and organisations to ensure that they keep flying and in turn saving lives. To keep their two air ambulances airborne, and to provide the specialist clinical equipment they carry, they need to raise over £11m each year.

The Giving Tree is funded solely by donations and fundraising events, with 100% of the money raised going directly towards good causes in Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
