Public Access Defibrillators.
After a cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces someone’s chance of survival by 10%

Since 2018, Jay’s Aim has provided public access defibrillators (PADs) in more than 50 locations throughout South-West England. By providing these PADS, we hope to increase the likelihood of a defibrillator being available in an emergency cardiac-arrest situation; wherever possible, our PADs are placed on the outside of buildings in highly-visible cabinets, making them available for use 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Public support enables us to fund these defibrillators, cabinets and signage at venues across the South-West, working with local communities to find the optimal location in each case.
We help establishments to register their new defibrillator with the South Western Ambulance Service (SWAST) – this simply requires the establishment to appoint a guardian able to carry out a few quick, easy monthly checks and submit the results online, thus ensuring the equipment remains in good working order and ready for an emergency. We remain in touch with every establishment that receives one of our defibrillators.

We need your help! Jay’s Aim is trying to establish the areas most in need of a defibrillator in South-West England. If you would like to apply for a defibrillator for your sports club, place of education or other area where you exercise or socialise, please get in touch with us using the link below.
We use a range of criteria when assessing PAD applications. These include the number of young people who could potentially benefit from the device being installed at a proposed site; the accessibility of that site for the general public; and the proximity of any other PADs to the site. All successful PAD applications will receive free CPR/AED training, so club members, students and the local community can be confident in using the equipment correctly during an emergency.
November 2024 Update - Please note we are currently not accepting general applications while we focus on our ‘Free Cabinets for Schools’ scheme (please see below).

Jay’s Aim can provide high-quality defibrillators and products from Zoll and from its recent acquisition, Cardiac Science. It’s unlikely that we will be beaten on price; we are a non-profit organisation focused squarely on increasing the number of defibrillators available to the public, not making money.
We are more than happy to give advice on any brand of defibrillator, from specific siting and maintenance queries to broader discussion of the different types of cabinet available – just get in touch and we’ll do our best to get back to you promptly.
