Community Heartbeat Trust and BT have been working together with rural communities to turn disused telephone boxes into Community Public Access Defibrillator sites or cPADs. The British Coatings Federation’s paint manufacturer members have stepped in to help preserve these iconic structures in communities, by arranging the donation of free paint and undercoat for renovation. Through this joint venture we hope to not only help save the lives of the 30,000 people who suffer cardiac arrest every year but to also preserve a part of our British heritage and culture, that is so well represented by the good old fashioned red telephone box.
