Helping Pensioners Become More Heart Healthy

On Tuesday 11 March, as part of our Healthy Hearts Project (Research Engagement Network), we were invited to share information on heart health at the Pensioner Action Group's monthly meeting. 

It was a wonderful day, with 150 people coming together for an afternoon of community and well-being. Our team were able to successfully carry out 40 blood pressure checks and share with the group essential heart health information from the British Heart Foundation.

The day included an energetic and fun armchair fitness session run by Haringey Walks, highlighting the importance of movement for better mobility, heart health and improving overall well-being in older age.  To end the session an expert shared guidance on wills and estate planning.
