## Resource

Nationwide is launching the UK’s largest-ever emergency aid rollout, installing life-saving defibrillators and bleed control kits in all 605 of its branches by end-2026—thanks to a partnership with Visa. With cardiac arrest survival rates under 10% outside hospitals but soaring to 70% if treated within minutes, and knife crime incidents hitting 53,000 last year, this initiative tackles a critical gap: most people don’t know where help is—or dare to act. Nationwide’s solution? Free first aid training via St John Ambulance for staff and the public, turning branches into emergency hubs and empowering communities to save lives when seconds matter.
