Funding & Donations

We depend on donations to fund our work. These are spent primarily on:

  • Equipment for our team of volunteer Community First Responders
  • Replacing expired batteries and used pads in our Public Access Defibrillators
  • Modest travel expenses for volunteers checking the status of Public Access Defibrillators.
  • Replacement of faulty or stolen equipment. Sadly, Public Access Defibrillators are occasionally stolen.

If you’d like to donate, you can do so via Wonderful, which enables you to donate via your mobile phone banking app without handing over any personal details:
