London Hearts is the leading defibrillator charity in the UK, placing life-saving equipment in the right places and teaching the CPR and defibrillator skills that turn bystanders into rescuers.
There are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests across the UK every year, but fewer than one in ten people survive. The chance of survival falls by around 10% for every minute that passes.
With fast CPR and a defibrillator, survival can rise to as high as 70%. By making defibrillators more affordable and training more people to use them, we give every community a better chance.
Bring heart conditions and the reality of sudden cardiac arrest into public conversation.
Work with strategic partners to place PADs where they are most likely to save a life.
Ensure no one is ever further than 100 metres from a defibrillator.
