These will be held at Plymouth Science Park and delivered over the next 16 months by either Matt and Alex of Bamboo Growth or by other experts we worked alongside on the Meet The Expert programme.

If someone is experiencing cardiac arrest, the quick use of a defibrillator in an easy to reach place can be the lifeline that keeps them with us.
The government will soon open up a £1 million grant to help to increase the number of defibrillators in our communities and are asking for expressions of interest. If you manage a space with high footfall such as a community centre or shop, find out more and apply on the GOV.UK website.
If you already own or manage a defibrillator please register it with The Circuit, the national defibrillator network run by ambulance trusts in conjunction with the British Heart Foundation. By registering your defibrillator, it means the ambulance service can direct people to the closest one if needed.
The Circuit has a partner site, Defib Finder, where you can check the closest defibrillators to you and see if yours is already registered. However this website should not be used during an emergency – instead you should call 999.
