💚 Dear Defib Friends, we need your help to raise funds for the purchase of defibrillators, cabinets and essential kit such as replacements pads and battery packs. We set up Public Hearts over 7 years ago with a goal of placing publicly accessible defibs along Cheltenham High St and surrounding areas. We are fortunate to benefit from great generosity so far and have NOW PLACED 99 defibrillators in the Cheltenham and wider communities to help someone in the event of a cardiac arrest.

💚 Looking forwards, ongoing support is just as important as initial and we're currently receiving enquiries and appeals for help with new batteries and pads, which are vital parts to maintain their emergency ready status.

🆕 When Public Hearts was set up in Dec 2018, there were NO 24/7 publicly accessible defibs in Cheltenham town centre to support a population of 118,000 and all our visitors. Thanks to team work and the generosity of the Cheltenham community, as at April 2025 we have increased Public Access Defib numbers to an incredible 99!

🆕 Yes, that's right - 99 publicly accessible defibrillators in and around Cheltenham - and 90% of these have been installed since Dec 2021 making Cheltenham one of the most covered towns in the UK 💚

💚 What an amazing achievement, thank you to everyone for supporting this campaign to help someone when they need it most.
