The Heart of the Community - How AED Donate Is Saving Lives with Jamie Richards

What happens when you spot a gap that could mean the difference between life and death? In this episode, we sit down with Jamie from AED Donate to explore the moment that sparked the creation of a charity dedicated to making life-saving defibrillators more accessible to communities across the UK. Jamie shares how identifying a critical need led to a mission that is helping to save lives every single day. From installing defibrillators nationwide to providing ongoing maintenance and support, AED Donate is doing far more than placing equipment on walls. They are building a network of life-saving resources that communities can rely on when every second counts. We discuss the importance of public access defibrillators, the innovative live tracking system that helps people locate nearby devices, and the challenges and rewards of running a charity focused on such a vital cause. This conversation is a powerful reminder that innovation is not always about creating something new. Sometimes it is about recognising a problem, finding a better solution, and making a lasting difference to the people around you.
