Subsidised Defibrillators for Football Clubs

Terry Barrett, EVO-STIK League South Chairman supports the FA and BHF initiative

"We encourage all our Southern League Clubs to consider the facts

Heart attacks can kill players and supporters

Does your Club have a Defibrillator?

We ask that Clubs take advantage of this offer and save lives"

BEAT THE ODDS…

You can help beat those odds by applying for a defibrillator.
The Football Association (FA) and The British Heart Foundation (BHF) have worked in partnership to award a grant for two-thirds of the cost of a defibrillator. This means your club will only pay £318 (+VAT)

They have already placed 640 defibrillators in football clubs across the UK and now have 900 more available for clubs in the National League System, Women’s Pyramid of Football Clubs and Charter Standard Clubs. So, this is a great opportunity to get one for your club.

Once your application is approved you will be given instructions on how to pay your £318 + VAT. You will receive your defibrillator once the club makes payment.

Lisa Hodgson, The FA's medical education lead, said: “The FA continues to recognise the importance of providing timely and appropriate emergency first aid following casualties at footballing activities.

“Alongside our partners at the British Heart Foundation and WEL Medical, we are supplementing our CPR training by providing an excellent opportunity to receive equipment that could mean all the difference in a potentially life-threatening situation. I would implore football clubs across the country to apply.”
