Elm Park councillors are campaigning to get a defibrillator for the community.
Havering Residents Association councillors Stephanie Nunn and her partner Barry Mugglestone want to house the life-saving equipment at the Royal British Legion Elm Park on Maylands Avenue to mark its 75th birthday.
A fundraiser, which went live earlier this week, has already raised over £250 - a sixth of its £1,531 target.
Cllr Nunn told the
Recorder: “The fact that we’ve raised over £200 already shows the community care and are interested.
“We don’t expect big donations from the public, but if everyone gives a bit I’m confident we’ll reach our target.”

A ceremony to honour the lives lost to coronavirus, as well as to celebrate a new church bell, was held at St Albans Church, Romford.
The socially-distanced ceremony took place on December 17, where councillors Stephanie Nunn and Barry Mugglestone unveiled a commemorative plaque.
They joined the parish priest Father Maurice Gordon, along with three others who lit candles to remember their mothers.
Speaking after the event, Cllr Nunn said: It was such a lovely event to celebrate the restoration of the church bell in memory of those who have lost their lives to virus.
