Cardiac Rehabilitaion through Exercise and Walking HSG Trustees’ annual report: (TAR)
CREW’s core activities are to benefit all of those who have, or are at risk of, some form of cardiovascular disease and is centred on the known recognized structurers of an affiliated ‘Heart Support Group’(HSG) within the British Heart Foundations 300+ independently run groups nationwide.
CREW HSG operates for the benefit of members who need:
Cardiac rehabilitation after hospitalization programmes have finished.
Support in reducing risk factors for future Cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, Hypertension, Strokes etc.
Our activities therefore are the continuation of a medical or health professionals' intervention. They are related to secondary care to ensure that members and their carers have a peer dependent organization which enables them to continue with a lifestyle that includes walking for health and regular exercise with there associated health benefits.
Details of our activities
CREW HSG is linked to the NHS Social Prescribers, Staying Well and GP surgeries in Calderdale and supports patients who have been advised by their clinician to join structured exercise and walking groups as part of their future wellbeing, mental awareness and health.
Activities to facilitate the above are:
- Weekly walking groups for all abilities, with qualified walk leaders.
· Our self-guided walking programme.
CREW HSG also promotes exercise classes (aerobic through structured programmes and Tai Chi for health) operating under the ‘Active Rainbow Wellness Hub’. The Wellness Hub incorporates 5 fully qualified, self-employed British Cardiac Phase 4 rehab instructors operating in 4 core centres and 10 village and community group facilities.
Walk Leader training is provided by a professional organisation (SPLAT). The training includes the suitability of Health Walks and the risk assessments required to enable good practise and the safety of all our members.
Professional trainers are brought in by CREW to train our members in first aid with CPR and use of defibrillators, which we provide at our the Wellness Hub exercise centres and during walks.
Other activities to supplement the above
Social activities for our members, their families and friends including organised weekly lunches, an annual lunch and summer social evening.
We provide website information, available to all the community, which includes news about our weekly walking programmes and self-guided walks in the area, plus the contact information for our walk leaders.

Achievement and 2022/3 performance:
The Trustees are pleased to report that we have had a very successful 12 months. Our membership has once again increased with new members attending our walking groups.
We were able to continue our walks with no COVID restrictions during this period: groups of over 25 people regularly attended our Tuesday walks, with an increase in numbers on our Monday and Thursday surgery walks and our Friday longer walk. In total we had between 50 and 60 attending each week. Sadly, some of our long-term members had to retire from our walking groups.
We continued to work with the NHS Social Prescribers and Staying Well to offer people the chance to join our walking groups, not only for exercise but for their mental wellbeing.
The exercise classes, operating under the ‘Active Rainbow Wellness Hub’, also had a very successful 12 months with new classes introduced to meet the demand. CREW continued to support the instructors during the year with grants to carry out their classes. We also provided a ‘Cardiac Rehabilitation Instructors' Course’ for all our instructors to update their skills.
In July 2022, we were able to hold our first members’ social evening since COVID; it was very well supported by our members, their families and friends. Various activities took place during the evening, which also helped to raise some funds for our charity.
In January 2023, we held our second Annual lunch in one of Halifax’s premier restaurants which once again went extremely well. It enabled our members to get together and meet many old friends not seen for a while.
