Key takeaways

If your work involves defibrillators or CPR training in the UK, this funder's themes match closely.
Its defibrillator application is open to community groups, schools, sports clubs, workplaces and other organisations, and you do not need to be a registered charity.
The annual report gave no grants figure that could be read, and no grant range is stated, so you cannot judge a typical request size from the information available; ask the team what the application can cover when you get in touch.
Applications are rolling, and the form asks for only a few details, with a team member contacting you within the next working day, so you can apply whenever the need arises.
