Vicky Parker

Our beautiful Vicky passed away on 17/08/2023, aged just 30 years old after suffering a cardiac arrest. Post mortem results showed an undiagnosed heart condition, long QT syndrome. There had been no symptoms or warning signs.

Vicky was a young, fit, healthy mum of two young daughters, Evie-Mae and Dolly-Rose. She worked full time as a teaching assistant in a local primary school.

Vicky had many friends, and she loved entertaining family and friends with her love of cooking, especially BBQs in the summertime. The pool and trampoline would always be out for the children.

Vicky is missed more than words can describe, loosing her has left us as a family lost and utterly heartbroken. Somehow we now have to try and keep Vicky’s memory alive especially for our two gorgeous granddaughters, Evie aged 12 and Dolly age 6.

This memorial fund has been set up to help achieve this in hope of reducing the frequency of young sudden cardiac death through supporting CRY’S screening programme.

The aim is to fund the screening of young people within our local community.

With love, Donna and Steve Parker (Vicky’s mum and dad) & Evie and Dolly (Vicky’s girls)

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.
