The Department of Health and Social Care is currently running a £1 million match funded Community Automated External Defibrillators Fund. The funding is aimed at increasing the number of AEDs in public places where they are most needed and to help save lives.
All types of organisations may apply.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Not be an organisation that is eligible for the Department of Education scheme, eg, a school or an academy.
- Locate the secure defibrillator 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.
- Provide match funding for their application (c. £750).
The funding is based on a ‘first come first served basis’.
Applications will be accepted until all the funding has been allocated.
There are about 400 units left. And it is expected that the scheme will close to applications within four to six weeks from 1 November 2024 (by the end of November or mid December 2024). However, it could be sooner.
