Working with schools

We're working with schools to provide school conversion packages, utilising additional defibrillators that the School may have and placing them in a cabinet with a bleed control kit on the outside of their school perimeter to make them publicly accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Since October 2024 we have had 6 activations that have occurred at Schools who have received the conversion package.  On each occasion the activation has happened outside of school hours or in school holidays. One school unit was activated just 7 days after it was converted.

We have had 54 activations from Hearts for Hearts installed units since 1st January 2025.
