Heart club receives hundreds of pounds from donations
A HEART club has received hundreds of pounds in donations.
Bournemouth Heart Club recently received a £400 donation from Bournemouth Rotary Club.
This is nothing new for Bournemouth Rotary, with their longstanding commitment to support 'local health initiatives'.
The president, Virginia Beck, presented the cheque of £400 to Caroline Marshall, the general manager of the heart club.
Founded in 1996, the heart club provides rehabilitation support for individuals recovering from cardiac procedures or living with a high risk of coronary heart disease.
Today, its services also extend to those managing chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, offering tailored exercise programmes and health education to improve long-term outcomes.
A spokesperson for Bournemouth Rotary said: "The club's support of the Heart Club spans decades, with former member the late Peter Bath instrumental in funding the construction of the gymnasium in 1996.
"This latest donation reflects Rotary's continued dedication to promoting community well-being."
President Beck stated that Bournemouth Heart Club represents 'the very best of community care'.
She said: "The Bournemouth Heart Club represents the very best of community care - compassionate, consistent, and life-changing.
"We're proud to support its mission and hope this contribution helps sustain its vital work for those recovering from cardiac issues and managing long-term health conditions."
