If you are able to, please make a donation, starting from just £1, below. If everyone who visited this page was able to donate the price of a takeaway coffee or a pint down the pub, we'd be able to fund so much! And, unlike many other charities, we do not spend donations on high staff costs/expenses, premises or vehicle costs.

​

Thank you so much to Howdens and everyone involved! Your generosity and support will make a vital difference by helping us to fund more accessible defibrillators and bleed control kits, like you can see in the picture above, to help save lives during medical emergencies.

About us - for those of you who don't know!

Put simply, we are a charity who are committed to increasing cardiac arrest survival rates by:

• installing accessible defibrillators in public spaces - those that are available 24/7; not locked behind closed doors where they can't save lives after the buildings they're housed in, close

• training people in basic life support skills for free; ensuring accessibility to all - we passionately believe that cost should never be a barrier for people to learn how to save lives and that it should be a skill for ALL

​

Why we do what we do

Founder, Clare, was by her Dad's side at a football match at Craven Cottage on 29 January 2022 when he suddenly collapsed and subsequently died from a cardiac arrest. Out of the thousands of people sitting around them, only 1 person knew how to recognise a cardiac arrest and perform basic life support skills to try to save his life, whilst waiting for the professional medics to come.

 

After that horrific day, Clare quickly realised that the reason not nearly enough people know how to save a life is because basic life support training is incredibly expensive and therefore inaccessible to most people. The Paul Alan Project, set up in Clare's Dad's name, was founded to train people in life saving skills and give them the equipment to do so with accessible defibrillators in public spaces, where they are needed most. The charity also include a bleed control kit in all of their defibrillator cabinets to help sustain life in the event of a catastrophic bleed - it just makes sense to make lifesaving equipment as available and accessible as possible!​
