How to Apply for a Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity CPAD Grant
The Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity has a grant-making programme to increase the number of Community Public Access Defibrillators (CPADs) across Yorkshire. Local community based groups, who are raising funds for a CPAD can apply for these funds to top up their own fundraising.
We are currently only accepting applications for funding support from the Bradford, Calderdale and Kirklees areas. If you would like to apply for funding support towards the cost of your CPAD please email yas.charity@nhs.net
We can support community groups, faith organisations, schools and businesses from any area with securing a CPAD or defibrillator at a reduced cost if your group is able to fundraise the full amount.
On delivery, the CPAD is gifted to your community group, and becomes your responsibility. You will be expected to cover the cost of installation, and a small amount of ongoing maintenance. The community group must be willing to be responsible guardians for the CPAD, register it with the circuit and complete routine checks to make sure it is always ready in the event of an emergency.
To find out more or request a CPAD fundraising pack email yas.charity@nhs.net or complete a contact form on our website.
We strongly recommend that you discuss your plans for a CPAD, with the Community Defibrillation Co-ordinator from Yorkshire Ambulance Service, prior to starting your fundraising. We can put you in touch if you haven’t already made contact.
