Steel City, Strong Hearts -100 Defibrillators for Sheffield

We're not just a company based in Sheffield—we're fellow Steel City residents. With an estimated 85,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring in the UK as of 2024, and Sheffield having one of the lowest defibrillator counts nationally, we're taking action. In Yorkshire alone, 10,967 people suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in 2023, but only 3,543 received resuscitation attempts. Behind each of these numbers is someone's loved one—a parent, child, friend, or partner whose life hung in the balance. Every single minute without a defibrillator reduces survival chances by 10% .

This isn't just a statistic—it's precious seconds slipping away from someone in our community. We're calling on the spirit that built this city—the determination, compassion, and unity that Sheffield has always been known for. Together, we can place 100 life-saving public access defibrillators across our neighbourhoods, ensuring that no matter where cardiac arrest strikes, help is just moments away.

You've got 4 minutes before the cardiac arrest patient runs out of oxygenated blood supply to his brain

The average emergency response time in the UK is 7-8 minutes

Early defibrillation within 3–5 min of collapse can increase survival rates by as high as 50-70%

Cardiac Arrest is one of the leading causes of Death in the UK.

Immediate bystander CPR and defibrillation can increase the chances of survival from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by two-to-threefold.

The Commitment

We ask for just one thing in return: your defibrillator must be publicly accessible and registered with The Circuit (the national defibrillator network).
This ensures your device can be quickly located by emergency services when needed.

Let's turn our Steel City into a city with the strongest heart in the UK.
