NW Hearts Charity has delivered a series of three Heart Health sessions in Ashton and Hyde, helping local people learn more about looking after their heart health and what to do in an emergency.

More than 40 people attended the sessions, which provided practical information in a friendly and accessible way. The sessions covered important topics linked to heart health, including recognising risk factors, making healthier choices, and building confidence around lifesaving skills such as CPR and the use of defibrillators.

The sessions were arranged with the support of local partners Age UK Tameside and Diversity Matters, who helped bring people together and make sure the sessions reached communities who could benefit from them.

NW Hearts Charity is also grateful to Studiotech, based in Bredbury, whose funding made the sessions possible.

James White, Chief Executive of NW Hearts Charity said:

Heart health information can make a real difference, especially when it is shared in a way that feels practical, supportive and easy to understand. We were really pleased to see more than 40 people attend these sessions in Ashton and Hyde, and we are grateful to Age UK Tameside, Diversity Matters and Studiotech for helping us make them happen.

NW Hearts Charity will continue working with local partners to support people across Greater Manchester to better understand their heart health and feel more confident in emergency situations.
