We support several charities every year but the opportunity to produce PULSE together with Heartbeat was an interesting proposition,” says Steve. “Mike explained how valuable it is to members and their families and we not only felt it was something we wanted to support but knew that our clients would be keen to support it too

I joined Heartbeat 17 years ago after having my first heart attack, a difficult and very worrying time. I was given a copy of PULSE at my first meeting and reading it at home later I realised my experience was not unique and that a new and positive future lay before me. As well as providing useful information, the magazine helps members to make new friends, so every edition is treasured, shared and enjoyed until the next one arrives. I’m so grateful to Steve and Daren for their support and this first edition is more than we could have hoped for.

It’s always exciting to present a new prospect to enthusiastic clients but we’ve taken on PULSE to help raise funds for Heartbeat, which is a registered charity, and we’re inviting our clients to do likewise. With their support, we will endeavour to raise the profile of Heartbeat and help this relatively small charity carry on doing so much to support members and to protect others by making defibrillators widely available.
