Aims/priorities: The funding is expected to provide an estimated 1,000 new defibrillators in community spaces across England.
This could include town halls, community centres, local shops, post offices and local parks, to ensure that defibrillators are evenly spread throughout communities and easily accessible if someone is experiencing an unexpected cardiac arrest.
Who can apply? 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.
Grant amount: A total of £1 million is being made available.
Application process: To accelerate the administration of the grant in advance of the partner being chosen, prospective organisations who wish to obtain funding for a defibrillator are now invited to register an expression of interest with the Department of Health and Social Care.
Organisations who submit an expression of interest will be notified once grant applications open.
Deadline: Not specified.
