"Birkenhead deserves better"
Available for over a year
A new British Heart Foundation scheme is urging community groups in Birkenhead to apply for free defibrillators after the Wirral town was identified as being a “defib black spot”. This means that in Birkenhead you are, on average, a 10-minute round trip walk away from the closest defib using available roads and footpaths. Birkenhead has been chosen as a target for the new Community Defibrillator Fund scheme as it has been identified as having high levels of deprivation but limited access to defibrillators.
