The care that begins when hospital rehabilitation ends

A local answer to a difficult question: what happens next?

Cardiac treatment can save a life. Hospital rehabilitation begins the work of recovery. But when that structured support ends, many people still need a safe place to exercise, ask questions and become comfortable with activity again.

Heartline grew around that gap. Based at Middleton Arena, the charity created a community route forward: regular supported movement, walking, social activity and reassurance from people who understand the uncertainty that can follow a heart event or diagnosis.

Our work is intentionally local. A familiar venue makes attendance easier. A consistent group notices progress and absence. Trustees and volunteers hear what members need directly, allowing the charity to adjust activity around age, disability, confidence and changing health.

We do not replace clinical care. We help people carry its benefits into daily life — for longer, and with others beside them.
