Cardiac rehabilitation support through fund-raising & exercise

WELCOME to the THROB website.

IN 2021, THROB WAS 30 YEARS OLD !

THROB is one of the oldest established Cardiac Support Groups in the United Kingdom and we are proud of it. !

We hope you find the site informative and helpful and if you think we could help you in any way - we are here to help if we can.

The aim of the THROB organisation is to promote cardiac rehabilitation in the Berkshire area covered by Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot and the Wexham Park Hospital in Slough.

THROB raises funds for rehabilitation equipment and services to benefit victims of Coronary Heart Disease now and in the future. Since its inception in 1991, THROB has raised approximately 50.000 pounds for equipment and services for Wexham Park and Heatherwood Hospitals.

THROB organises social activities for members, their families and their friends to enjoy and improve their lifestyles - and often to raise money in the process !

There are a number of exercise classes that THROB supports and for which THROB provides equipment. Over 20,000 pounds has been raised over the last ten years for exercise classes and equipment. Details of all the current classes can be found on our "Keeping Fit" page

Each quarter THROB produces a magazine with articles from within the group and news of new medications, diets and observations on publications of special interest to cardiac patients.

THROB welcomes new members.
