Heart Support Group

Towcester HeartBeats

Your Local Heart Support Group

We are a friendly and informal group who meet once a month in Towcester. The group aims to support anyone in the Towcester area who has a heart condition, their family members/carers, as well as parents of children and young people with a heart condition. We aim to provide a supportive environment in which those attending can share their ‘heart’ experiences/achievements if they wish, as well as their queries/concerns.

We also aim to:

• Meet socially, and provide a varied and interesting programme of events/activities
• liaise with local health resources and contribute to health forums/service user groups such as PALs in order to improve NHS care and support for heart patients
• interact with other local Heart Support Groups
• discuss ways to improve life style
• provide members with current thoughts and literature on heart conditions, treatments and aftercare for cardiac patients
• fund raise in support of the group
• support the British Heart Foundation

We meet monthly on the 3rd Thursday, at the Chantry House, Market Square, Towcester, 7pm – 8.30pm.
