Remembering our Matthew

This page is in memory of Matthew Dunning, who unexpectedly passed away on 10th September 2025, aged 20, from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).  Matthew was bright, curious and endlessly kind, his big smile, infectious humour and gentle caring nature touched everyone who knew him. 

Matthew was a wonderful son and an adoring big brother to his twin sister Sophie and younger sisters Holly and Charlotte.  He was living his best life and fulfilling his dream studying Physics with Astrophysics at the University of Surrey.  A passionate sportsman, and loyal friend, he had a rare gift and making everyone around him feel valued, understood and at ease.   

Matthew’s time with us was far too short and we miss him every day, his loss has left a void in our hearts that can never be filled.  In his memory, our family is supporting Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) to raise awareness of sudden cardiac death in young people, support those affected and to fund their screening programme, research and pathology.

Donations in Matthew’s name will help prevent other families suffering such unimaginable loss and pain.

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.
