Pulse Project was created in memory of my mother, Natasha, who passed away in 2018 following a sudden cardiac event.

Natasha was a kind and loving woman who faced challenges in her life, as many people do, but she was so much more than those struggles. She was a mother of five, a daughter, a sister, and someone who was deeply loved and is deeply missed.

If a defibrillator had been readily available, and if people nearby had the tools and confidence to respond, there is a chance she might still be here

today. That possibility stays with you forever.

Too many lives are lost not because help doesn’t exist, but because it isn’t close enough, accessible enough, or available in time.

That is why Pulse Project exists.

Why £2,000?

Our goal of £2,000 will fund:

A publicly accessible defibrillator

A secure, weather-proof cabinet

Installation, signage, and registration

This will place a life-saving device directly into a community, where it can serve and protect people for years to come.

While Blackpool already has defibrillators in many public buildings and transport hubs, sudden cardiac arrests do not only happen in those spaces.

They occur in neighbourhoods, small community centres, and local businesses — often outside of normal opening hours.

Pulse Project aims to support these smaller, community-based locations that may otherwise be overlooked, helping to improve local coverage and accessibility.

Our purpose

I am doing this so families don’t lose their loved ones suddenly and without warning.

So children don’t lose parents.

So families don’t live with the question of “what if help had been closer?”

Pulse Project is about turning loss into action — and making sure life-saving support is there when it’s needed most.
