We were delighted to welcome local people back to the Forth Valley Healthy Hearts Club which recently restarted face-to-face classes after offering online support throughout the pandemic.

The club, which is based at the Peak sports centre in Stirling, provides an exercise and education programme for people living with heart disease (and their families) as well as valuable peer support. It works closely with our Cardiac Rehabilitation team and is a great example of collaborative working.

Established in 1996 as a maintenance programme for people completing cardiac rehabilitation, the Club works closely with NHS Forth Valley’s Cardiac Rehabilitation team and is a great example of collaborative working. It is based in the Peak sports centre in Stirring and provides support to more than 300 members across the Forth Valley area.
