Albert Town, Haverfordwest is one of the areas in Wales which have shown to be low on defibrillator access, according to British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cymru.

Around 2,800 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in Wales each year, and currently only around one in 20 people survive. Quick CPR and defibrillation can more than double the chance that someone’s life will be saved.

BHF Cymru is now encouraging eligible communities across the country to apply to its 2025 Community Defibrillator Funding Programme. The charity has said areas with greatest need will be prioritised.

Check eligibility and apply for a BHF-funded defibrillator for your community before February 2026 – by doing so, you could save a life: bhf.org.uk/fundeddefib .
