Heart Support Groups
There are also many other Heart Support Groups around the country. Some are small and provide monthly meetings for social support. Others provide social outings, newsletters and walking groups. Finally there are quite large organisations like MK Community Cardiac Group which offer regular exercise sessions on top of all the other activities.
Below are links to the websites of a couple of groups we know about, but others can be found via an Internet search:

events, talks, exercise and relaxation sessions.
The Isle of Wight Heart Care Club

Isle of Wight Heart Care Club is a Heart Support Group on
the Isle of Wight offering a structured exercise programme and a range

Links in Milton Keynes
Our Members are associated with a wide range of Health Centres and Surgeries
throughout Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. We're working on developing
a good relationship with these surgeries and spreading the word about
what we can offer here at Milton Keynes Community Cardiac Group. Part
of that process is to have reciprocal links on each other's websites.
The first of these arrangements is with the Red House Surgery in Bletchley:
