Get help bringing a defibrillator to your community
Access to a defibrillator can mean the difference between life and death in a sudden cardiac arrest. At AEDdonate, we’re here to support communities across the UK to place and maintain defibrillators with support tailored to your community’s needs.
Whether you’re looking for full or partial funding, practical fundraising advice, or support with installation and maintenance, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
What Funding is Available?
In some areas, we’re able to offer partial or full funding for a community defibrillator, cabinet, and installation. Funding availability depends on your location and local support opportunities.
Even if funding isn’t currently available in your area, we’ll still help you:
- Kick-start fundraising efforts
- Access resources and advice
- Navigate the full process from start to finish
Who Can Apply?
Whether you’re part of a community group, parish or town council, school, sports club, local business or a passionate individual, we’re here to help.
If your goal is to improve access to defibrillators in your area, we’ll support you every step of the way.
No matter the size of your organisation or the setting, if you care about saving lives in your community, you’re in the right place.
What Happens Next?
You can apply to check if funding or support is available in your area. Once you submit your application, our team will review your needs and guide you through the next steps. Whether you receive full funding or need to raise funds independently, we’ll provide practical advice, resources, and ongoing support from choosing the right defibrillator to installation and registration. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to bring life-saving equipment to your community.
