Having a defibrillator and knowing how to do CPR will give members of your community a better chance at surviving a cardiac arrest.
A limited number of funded defibrillators are available in each annual funding cycle. Applications will be reviewed monthly against a set of criteria so awards can be made to communities that need them most. Areas prioritised include those with fewer registered defibrillators and communities where local health needs indicate a higher risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
What’s included in the award package?
- A defibrillator, complete with pads and kit accessories
- A cabinet (if awarded, this must be kept unlocked and uncoded)
- Replacement pads and batteries when required (when they expire or are used with the defibrillator)
- Resources for RevivR online CPR training.
Who can apply?
You must be applying on behalf of a community group. Some examples of groups we accept are:
- Church organisations and other places of worship
- Social clubs
- Parish councils
- Local social enterprise organisations
- Community centres
Please note applications may close earlier depending on the volume received, so groups are advised to apply early.
