NI Chest, Heart & Stroke Roadshow rolls into Cookstown

The event takes place at the town's Leisure Centre on the Fountain Road between 10am and 5pm.

Everyone is welcome to drop in and discover more on your doorstep about the vital life-changing work the NICHS carry out within the Mid Ulster area, and enjoy a varied programme of free advice sessions and activities including:

• Blood Pressure and Atrial Fibrillation checks• Mini yoga, relaxation and stress relieving techniques*• Live Heart to Heart interviews• Wellbeing and nutrition advice• Defibrillator demos• Seasonal entertainment, festive fun and much more… including an opportunity to meet members of the team.

Almost 90% of NICHS funding is exclusively thanks to public donations.

Without your support, the team couldn't be here delivering their care and support services to people with chest, heart and stroke conditions across Northern Ireland.

You are invited to take a walk through journey of what the NICHS do as a charity and find out how it is currently helping the people of Mid Ulster across a range of services, including how it provides expert care and wider family support to anyone living with a chest, heart and stroke condition.

How it prevents these illnesses by funding research and empowering individuals to make healthy choices. And how its campaigning for better care, treatments and awareness of these conditions impacts on local lives.

A NICHS spokesperson said: "Our mission is to lead the fight against chest, heart and stroke illnesses in Northern Ireland and in 21/22 thanks to your support we spent close to £3.5 million on charitable activities and helped almost 17,000 people and organisations across all our services.

"But we have so much more to do before realizing our vision of a Northern Ireland free from these devastating health conditions. So please drop in to meet our team on Thursday November 24, anytime that suits you."
