Hike with us to help London hearts and save lives

Ready to do something incredible for London in 2026? Join the London Ambulance Service for the London Life Hike, our feel‑good fundraising challenge that brings people together to support lifesaving skills across the city.

By taking part, you’ll help us teach more Londoners how to perform CPR and make sure public‑access defibrillators are available when they’re needed most. Every mile you walk fuels our London Heart Starters Campaign, helping communities feel confident, prepared, and empowered to save a life.

It’s a brilliant day out, a meaningful cause, and a chance to be part of something genuinely impactful. Walk with us, have fun, and help make London a safer place for everyone.

Where your support goes

The London Life hike raises funds for the London Heart Starters campaign. This campaign will install an additional 200 public-access defibrillators in unlocked cabinets where they are needed most. Our campaign uses a data-driven approach to identify defib deserts, small communities across the capital that have little to no defibrillators available to help save the life of someone having a cardiac arrest. We will fill this void, with your help.

We pledge to work with communities to identify defibrillator guardians, install public-access defibrillators, and ensure community members are trained in the life-saving skills of CPR and feel confident to use a defibrillator.
