Improving Cardiovascular Health

Service Details
The charity, ABCD, recognises the burden of cardiovascular disease in Argyll and seeks to help in three main areas: Firstly it provides help to the local NHS by providing medical equipment for treating and diagnosing patients with cardiovascular disease. It provides emergency cardiac equipment for communities where there is a need. Secondly it provides the finance for training of front line staff and volunteers in many different aspects of cardiovascular care particularly in cases where NHS funding is not available and there are community cardiac defibrillators. Thirdly it promotes and supports a wide range of projects and activities which are aimed at improving the cardiovascular health of the population with particular emphasis on projects aimed at the young. Projects like sporting activities and promotion ventures linked to healthy eating and stopping smoking are supported. If you have some spare time the Charity would welcome help fundraising in the community.
