Community organisations across England can apply for funding to acquire Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for public spaces. Eligible applicants include charities, local government bodies, sports clubs, and other community-focused organisations, but schools and academies are excluded. Applicants must install the defibrillator in an external, publicly accessible location available 24/7, provide an electrical power source, and contribute approximately £750 in match funding.
The total funding pool is £1 million, with applications assessed on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested organisations should complete the enquiry form on the official website.
The application process is currently open, and prompt application is encouraged as the fund will close once all available defibrillators are allocated.
The funding is made available through the Department of Health and Social Care's (DHSC) Community Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Fund
