Anyone residing in the islands is eligible to apply for assistance The aim of the Trust is not to provide ongoing financial support, but to meet short term needs to enable people to ‘get back on their feet’ in times of crisis. Support is usually made by one off payments, for example, invoices for food, fuel, childcare, may be paid by the Trust, - but requests are considered on a ‘case by case’ basis and this is not inclusive. Any request for financial support will be considered. Requests for assistance will be treated confidentially.

Southern Heartbeat aim to provide 24-hour access to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) throughout Stanley and Camp. In addition to this, we provide basic CPR training to the public free of charge in a range of Stanley and Camp locations. These machines, complete with cabinets, will be positioned at strategically based locations meaning that in the event of an emergency, no-one in Stanley will be more than 3-4 minutes from a device at any one time. As well as placing them in specific locations, there are AEDs available to hire for a donation.
