BEEP Doctors

One of the BEEP Doctor volunteer team ready to go into action anywhere in Cumbria, with some of his specialised PHEC equipment and his emergency response car


Supporting BEEP Doctors (BASICs) Cumbria, through local fundraising, has a direct impact on saving lives.  Donations enable us to buy and maintain the vital equipment that is needed by our doctors to provide specialist medical care to patients at the scene of any emergency, and to fund the administrative support that is needed to keep the doctors responding.

Our doctors are equipped with all the necessary kit to provide advanced clinical support and interventions at any type of emergency, whether it is a case of major trauma or a medical emergency, whether it is an adult or a child, and whether the incident involves single or multiple casualties.

Our doctors are routinely called upon to respond to incidents at the roadside, in people’s homes, at the workplace, and even in remote and inaccessible locations in the fells.  Equipping individual doctors’ private vehicles ensures that we achieve maximum coverage for the whole county and helps to minimise response times no matter where the incident occurs, or what type of incident it might be.

Providing this type of emergency service requires highly specialised equipment.  As well as running a dedicated emergency response vehicle which is fitted with high visibility reflective markings, blue lights and siren and a full complement of medical equipment, each doctor has their own vehicle fitted with blue lights and carries the same equipment as the dedicated emergency response vehicle.

All our doctors typically carry:

  • Communications equipment
  • Basic consumables such as splints, fluids, etc.
  • Pain relieving and anaesthetic drugs
  • Equipment for advanced airway care
  • Equipment for monitoring vital signs
  • Hand-held scanning device
  • Defibrillator

…and more.

The cost of equipping a single doctor to this level is approximately £20,000-£30,000 and is likely to increase steadily. Grants for emergency response vehicles help, but we still need help raising money to fully fund the service.

 


Charity

A grand total in the region of £500,000 has been raised since 1994, thanks to the extreme generosity and hard work of local people.

We still very much value your support and local community fundraising activities. Every penny raised goes into running this vehicle, paying for its equipment and covering the costs of training the doctors doing this work. By supporting us, through direct debit donations or local fundraising events near you, you are helping to save lives in our local community.

Online donations

BEEP Doctors (BASICs) Cumbria is run by volunteers, as well as our unpaid team of BEEP Doctors. All our doctors give their time on a voluntary basis attending incidents across Cumbria, as well as working in GP surgeries, in hospitals and in the community.

BEEP Doctors is not funded by the NHS, but it costs over £100,000 a year to keep our charity going, including equipment and travel. This means we rely on donations from the public and with the support and generosity of the people of Cumbria, we have managed to continue this vital lifesaving work for the last 25 years. Thank you.

However, we still need your support. The easiest way you can donate to BEEP Doctors is to donate online via Just Giving. Please click here to donate today. Every penny you donate goes directly to helping support and train our doctors to save more lives.

Legacies left to BEEP Doctors in people's wills have been a very important part of our fundraising campaigns and are a popular way to donate in Cumbria

Leave a gift in your will

One of the best ways you can leave a legacy is to leave a donation to charity. In the past we have often received lump sums in people’s wills. This may have been people whose life we have saved, or impacted upon, or those who champion the good work that we do.

The act of giving through your will has a huge impact on our charity and it is one off donations like this that enable us to buy essential pieces of equipment and train more doctors.

To know more about legacy donation, download our guide, contact us for more information or speak to your solicitor.

Guide to legacy donation

Donate in memory

A truly special way to remember a loved one is to make a donation in their memory.

You can make a one off donation, or set up regular giving on a special date.  This wonderful tribute to them means that their legacy lives on through our lifesaving work.

If you are considering making a donation in memory of a loved one, please visit our Just Giving page or contact us for more information.

Supporter's wills are also great for making a donation in memory of someone special, perhaps someone who BEEP Doctors helped in some way during their life.


Celebrations of festivals like Christmas and milestones like a fiftieth birthday or the anniversary of surviving a trauma (with a BEEP Doctor's assistance?) are a great reason to donate to BEEP Doctors

Give in celebration

We often celebrate big milestones in life, whether that is a wedding, anniversary or you’ve reached the “Big 50”.  However, sometimes receiving gifts doesn’t always feel right, but a donation to charity may well be.   Asking guests to make a donation to charity, or making a donation as part of an event or milestone may feel more appropriate for you.

A monthly, annual or one off donation is a great way to celebrate a special occasion and no matter how much you raise every penny will have a huge impact on the Beep Doctors charity.

School donations

Kids love a project don’t they!  So, why not get your school involved in some charity fundraising for BEEP Doctors.  Whether that’s a non-uniform day, litter picking or a bake off there are some fantastic ideas to inspire young minds and get them thinking about how they can help charitable causes.

Fundraising for BEEP Doctors could be through a local charity fundraising event you run or adopting us as your charity sponsorship of the year.  We can arrange visits from the BEEP Doctors for your school and talk to the pupils about the lifesaving work of the BEEP Doctors.

Drop us a line to discuss your ideas
Schools can also help support the work of BEEP Doctors in Cumbria. Please consider us as a charity that your school would like to support at your next fund raising event.


Payroll giving is another way to donate in Cumbria, where the regular income helps us to plan more accurately.

Payroll giving

Are you a business who has been thinking about your Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) and how you can make an impact on a local charity?

Perhaps you are an employee who has been thinking about how you can personally help a charity?

Then let us introduce you to payroll giving.  Charitable donations can be taken direct from your wage each month, which provides us with a sustainable income allowing us to plan for the future.  This kind of regular “give as you earn” arrangement also helps ensure the sustainability of our charity.

You will need to check if your employer is enrolled in the Payroll Giving scheme

And if you are an employer, you can find out more here.
