BHF-funded defibrillator applications open for eligible community groups

Non-profit community groups can apply for a free British Heart Foundation defibrillator package, with awards prioritised for places that need better public access.

How it works

The British Heart Foundation is accepting applications for fully funded public-access defibrillators from non-profit, community-focused groups. Examples include sports clubs, community centres, faith groups, charities and residents' associations. There is one application per local branch, and the programme is expected to stay open until 28 February 2027 unless demand changes that date. Awards are limited and assessed monthly, so applying does not guarantee a device.

The proposed location must be at least 200 metres from another public-access defibrillator. An approved group must install the unit outdoors within four weeks, keep its cabinet accessible around the clock, provide electricity, have the property owner's permission and register it on The Circuit. BHF also asks groups to take and share its CPR training. The device package is funded, but a group should check its own installation and ongoing electricity arrangements before applying.
