The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is inviting community organisations from across England to bid for funding for an automated external defibrillator (AED) for their area.
The £1 million fund which is not yet open for applications is expected to provide around 1,000 new defibrillators in community spaces across England.
Local community organisations, such as sports clubs, local theatres, community halls, etc., may register their interest now.
To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate that defibrillators will be placed in areas where they are most needed, such as places with high footfall, vulnerable people, rural areas or due to the nature of activity at the site.
Organisations who submit an expression of interest will be notified once grant applications open.
