An extra 1,000 defibrillators will be placed across the nation in a huge boost to the Mirror’s campaign to bolster access.
A £1million fund will make more of the lifesaving devices available in parks, post offices and shops to help those suffering cardiac arrest. Campaigners said it will help give “the best chance of saving lives”.
Organisations are invited to bid for a slice of the government cash and match the funding to get one for their community.
