💛 Heartstart Lymm is Looking for Trustees & Trainers! 💛

We’re excited to share that Heartstart Lymm is now a registered charity (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation – previously a CIC)! As part of that process, we’re looking to welcome 1–2 volunteer trustees to our team.

We’re especially keen on someone who can help with finances. Our cash situation is healthy, but for a small team, it’s always wise to separate spending from oversight. The role isn’t overly onerous – we don’t have a huge number of transactions – and you can be as involved as you like.

We’re also looking for new volunteer trainers! Our courses range from cubs learning Emergency Aid Level 2, to our community first aid courses, and up to First Responder level. Whether you’re a qualified trainer, paramedic, nurse, doctor, or someone with a keen interest, we can find a level that suits you and help you develop further.

✨ All roles are voluntary, but we can cover related expenses.

If you’d like to get involved, drop us a message or call 01925 751599 to find out more.

Help us keep lifesaving skills alive in our community! 💛

❤️ Premier League Defibrillator Fund – A Great Opportunity for Local Football Clubs

At Heartstart Lymm, we’re always looking for ways to help improve access to lifesaving equipment across our community. A new national initiative means local football clubs may now be able to secure a fully funded defibrillator (AED) for their site.

The Premier League Defibrillator Fund, delivered through the Football Foundation, is providing AEDs and external storage cabinets to grassroots football facilities across England. This programme aims to ensure that every pitch has quick, reliable access to a defibrillator — something that can make the difference between life and death.

---

⚽ What the Fund Offers

• A fully funded defibrillator (AED)
• An external storage cabinet (locked or unlocked)
• Support with registering the device with emergency services
• Free access to The FA’s Sudden Cardiac Arrest online training

---

🏆 Who Can Apply

Eligible organisations include:

• Football Foundation–funded sites currently without an accessible AED
• Affiliated grassroots clubs that own or operate their own facilities
• Clubs at Steps 5 & 6 of the FA National League System
• Clubs in Tiers 3 & 4 of the Women’s Football Pyramid

To qualify, the AED must be accessible within 200 metres of the pitch.

📩 How to Apply

Clubs can start the process by emailing:

📌 Why This Matters

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any age. Fast access to a defibrillator dramatically increases survival chances. This fund is a fantastic opportunity for local clubs to strengthen safety for players, volunteers and spectators.

If any clubs would like help understanding the process or advice on AED placement and community access, Heartstart Lymm is always happy to support.

Funded by the Premier League with support from The FA and Sport England, the Defibrillator Fund will allow for thousands of defibrillators to be installed at grassroots football facilities across England.
