resident associations and informal groups.
Other conditions you must comply with
To be eligible for a free, BHF-funded defibrillator, you must:

ensure the defibrillator is available to the public 24/7 in the non-lockable and uncoded cabinet provided
ensure the defibrillator is installed on an external wall that is not blocked by locked gates or opening times
make sure that the cabinet has a constant electricity supply

If you are not able to comply with these conditions, you are not eligible for a BHF-funded defibrillator.
How we review applications
There are a limited number of funded defibrillators available in each annual funding cycle, and applying doesnt guarantee success. Applications will be reviewed monthly against a set of criteria to ensure that defibrillators are awarded to communities that need them the most.
Areas prioritised include those with fewer registered defibrillators and where local data suggests a need for greater defibrillator coverage.
