Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK), a healthcare charity, is offering small grants as part of its ‘Restart a Heart’ 2024 campaign to help educate people about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use a defibrillator with the aim of saving lives. RCUK reports that currently in the UK only 1 in 10 survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest.
Small charities, community groups, faith groups and community interest companies (with an annual income of less than £500,000) can apply for grants of up to £1,500 to raise awareness around CPR and defibrillator use.
Projects need to focus on one or more of the following:
- Share information around CPR and defibrillator use.
- Address misinformation and barriers to CPR and defibrillator use.
- Provide bystander CPR training.
Priority will be given to:
- Charities and organisations working in geographical areas with low bystander CPR and high rates of cardiac arrest and/or working with communities experiencing inequalities in resuscitation.
- Projects that are tailored to meet the needs of the local community, for example language, cultural, and educational needs of participants.
The deadline for applications is 28 June 2024 (17:00).
