Monthly Support Meetings

Regular and enjoyable support meetings offer a welcoming place where individuals with heart conditions and their families can meet, relax and share experiences over a cup of tea, coffee or even a glass of wine if medication permits. Members find comfort in knowing they are not alone and receive encouragement from those who have walked a similar path. The meetings are about connection and understanding, they are not medical treatment but allow each participant to share their journey in a stress free, positive environment.

Educational Talks and Workshops

A variety of talks will be led by health professionals and wellness experts; Topics will range from cardiac exercise, diet. lifestyle changes and stress management to fun, uplifting and entertaining subjects which will hopefully help to relieve anxiety.

Defibrillator Training

Heart Support Organisation provides defibrillator training for members, families, and caregivers. These hands-on sessions aim to make participants confident using this life-saving tool, ensuring everyone feels prepared in case of an emergency.

Future Campaigns

In the future we hope to advocate for more heart disease screening and raise awareness about the importance of early detection. At present men are screened in their 69th year for abdominal aorta aneurisms but women are not. We consider that screening must be available for both sexes and especially for those with a family history of genetic aorta disease.
