Heart Support Group

Heart Care: Supporting your Recovery

Heart or lung disease can significantly impact not only you but those close to you. At Heart Care, we believe in providing support that encompasses friends, family, and carers so they can be part of your journey to recovery. Together, we aim to make the process a positive and meaningful experience.

Why Join the Heart Support Group?

Recovering from heart or lung disease can feel isolating, which is why we have established our very own Heart Support Group. This group offers a platform to connect with others who have gone through a similar situation, making it easier to share experiences, gain encouragement, and build a sense of community.

Join in With Our Events

In addition to our rehab programmes, we organise a variety of events for Heart Support Group members. These events aim to enhance your recovery journey, provide emotional support, and let you enjoy moments with others on similar paths.

Stay Up-to-Date

We release a quarterly newsletter featuring the latest news, upcoming events, and stories from our Heart Care community. This is a fantastic way to stay connected and informed.

"We have been attending Heartcare for 15 years now and the Heart Support Group Coffee afternoons are a welcome addition to the 'Family' feel as we find as we can spend a bit more time chatting to people  who exercise on a different day to us. The Newsletter is also a welcome addition".  Dave Rock Heart Care Member
