Strong Hearts Blackpool
Our local movement to make Blackpool Resus Ready
What is Strong Hearts
Strong Hearts is our Blackpool campaign that mirrors the spirit of HOWL and turns it into local action with Strong FC and friends. We celebrate survival stories, teach fast and safe CPR, grow confidence to use a defib, and bring partners together so that more people in Blackpool come home after a cardiac arrest.
