London Hearts focuses on preventing deaths from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by making public access defibrillators more widely available across the UK, often paired with CPR and defibrillator awareness training. It appears to work with a mix of community groups, charities, sports clubs, transport operators, and corporate partners to place AEDs in high-traffic or high-risk settings. The funder is especially distinctive for underwriting equipment rather than general charitable activity, with a strong emphasis on practical, immediate lifesaving infrastructure.
Primarily provides grant funding or partnership support to cover part or all of the cost of AED packages, including storage and sometimes training; funding is UK-wide and applications are accepted year-round via an online form. Grants can be relatively substantial in equipment terms, but are generally tied to specific defibrillator purchases rather than unrestricted funding.
