Crew Heart Support Group Trustees report (continued) for the year ended 28 February 2024
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 includes 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.
Crew Heart Support Group Trustees report (continued) for the year ended 28 February 2024
Achievement and 2023/4 performance:
The Trustees are once again 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 continued our partnerships with NHS Social Prescribers and Staying Well teams to enable us to offer people the chance to join all or our activities, which is of benefit for physical exercise and mental wellbeing.
The exercise classes, operating under the ‘Active Rainbow Wellness Hub’, also had another successful 12 months and we have been able to introduce new classes. CREW HSG have assisted the instructors during the year with continued support as needed and with first aid training for both instructors and walk leaders.
The Trustees decided that it was in the best interest of the organisation and its members to have our own comprehensive insurance policy. An appropriate policy has been purchased from Zurich Insurance.
To promote CREW we attended the Memory Lane Party at Crow Wood Park, Sowerby Bridge in July 2023 where we handed out leaflets, talked to visitors and had a Tombola at our stall.
Socially we had an evening at Queens Sports Club with 70 members attending, including supper, quiz and raffle. Our Annual lunch in January 24 was again well attended meeting up with friends we hadn't seen for a while.
Keep Fit for All, a national organisation, with a branch covering Huddersfield and Halifax decided to support CREW HSG. They held a walk, garden party and social event to raise money for CREW, which a number of our members attended and were made very welcome.
At the end of November 2022 one of our long standing members Rosemary Miller sadly passed away. Then in September 2023 we were told that the executors of her estate had decided to give the balance of some £75,000 to CREW HSG. Though very welcome this did leave the Trustees in a dilemma, we didn't just want to invest the money but do something constructive with it.
Since year end we have invested the bulk of the funds with CCLA, the UK's largest charity fund manager,to obtain a better return. We decided to offer our Secretary the opportunity to become our part-time Co-ordinator to promote CREW HSG.
Our defibrillators were 15 years old so these have been replaced from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity. We are also going to work with them to put more defibrillators into communities in Kirklees and Calderdale.
