Preventing young sudden cardiac deaths through awareness, screening and research, and supporting affected families.

James Pilfold

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.

James, my first born, amazing son and brother to Hollie, friend to so many.

James was taken so suddenly and tragically on 10^th December 2018 – a seemingly fit healthy 27 year old. He was bright, funny, intelligent, with a social conscience and huge loyalty and love for family and friends close to him. He was an incredibly private person who didn’t suffer fools or follow the crowds and always put the needs of others before his own.

Never one for playing sport he found skiing in his last few years and whilst nobody would say he was going to win a place on the Olympic ski team, he loved it, but more so he loved the time with his friends. He also loved watching his rugby and supporting England in their international games.

James had a huge future ahead of him, finding a career he loved and thrived in. His work, together with those close to him, brought out the very best in him and allowed him to grow into the incredible young man he became.

He will be missed enormously by so many people and has left a huge hole in our lives but we hope that by supporting CRY we will be able to support research into cardiac conditions which rob families of their sons and daughters and loved ones bringing such pain and grief. It would make James proud to know that he had helped save others and further vital research into sudden cardiac death. Please give generously in love and memory of James.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

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.
