Department of Health and Social Care - Defibrillator Fund

The government is inviting community organisations to bid for funding for a defibrillator for their area. 

The Department of Health and Social Care is currently running a £1 million match funded Community Automated External Defibrillators Fund, aimed at increasing the number of AEDs in public places where they are most needed and to help save lives.

To be eligible for a funded defibrillator you must also:
 

• Locate the secure defibrillator cabinet on an external wall in an area that is accessible to members of the public 24 hours per day. (The equipment must be installed and registered on The Circuit within 4 weeks).
• Be able to provide an electrical power source to ensure the defibrillator cabinet light and heater operate to keep the device at the right temperature
• Provide match funding for your application (c. £750).
