Apply for a defibrillator grant

Are you considering installing a defibrillator or want more information on how to obtain one?

London Hearts (Londonhearts.org) is a charity aiming to help and support communities with the provision of heart defibrillators and teaching CPR/defibrillator skills.

Defibrillators (also known as AEDs – Automatic External Defibrillators) are medical devices that help and support a patient in cardiac arrest. According to London Hearts, they are the ONLY devices that can help when someone has a cardiac arrest.

FACT: There are more than 30,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests across the UK every year but less than one in ten people survive. With the effective and speedy delivery of treatment, survival can be raised to 70 percent, but this requires CPR (chest compressions) and also use of a defibrillator.

By making more defibrillators accessible, and the more people trained in how to use them, the better the chance of survival for a cardiac arrest victim. London Hearts seek to make this lifesaving piece of equipment more affordable to communities and organisations across the country.

London Hearts can provide a grant of £300 towards the cost of a defibrillator and storage as well as a FREE online training video.
