London Hearts Defibrillator Charity
London Hearts is a Registered Charity in England, Charity Number 1180901
Our mission is centered on saving lives in England by funding Public Access Defibrillators and emergency lifesaving equipment throughout England, and providing CPR training sessions. We would like to see a Defibrillator next to every fire extinguisher in England.
It’s shocking that the survival rate is only 3%. Where an AED or Defibrillator is used, the survival rate increases to 67 %. “Unfortunately, there are not enough defibrillators in England or enough confident people to give victims the best chance of survival during those first few critical minutes. With access to more defibrillators we can provide a vital link in the chain of survival so that even more lives can be saved. When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, their chances of survival drop by up to 10% for every minute that passes, so a speedy response is crucial. Therefore, early defibrillation – within three to five minutes – gives the best possible chance of survival.” We are inundated with requests on a daily basis.
