The London Lifesavers project recruits, trains and educates an ‘army of local volunteers’ for the London Ambulance Service. These neighbours, friends and family members help by being at the scene of emergencies before the ambulance arrives, providing additional care for Londoners. They are trained to use defibrillators, restarting hearts whilst in cardiac arrest before the ambulance arrives – giving individuals the best chance of survival. They are also deployed to support people in their local areas, such as ‘checking in’ on elderly people during the winter months.

London Lifesavers are currently funded through an NHS Charities Together Covid-19 grant given to London Ambulance Charity; however, this funding will only allow go so far. 

To ensure we can train as many people as possible across London, please
