Groups

The weekly support groups are completely free and centre on a social event. Each week is themed and the groups could be visited by the local Heart Failure Nurse, a monthly speaker (covering topics Medical, Educational, Social, and Hobbies), video and book clubs or a member organised quiz. We aim to reduce isolation for those unable to attend meetings by quarterly Newsletters & telephone contact. We meet each week so as to enable as many members as possible to attend, although no pressure to do so, members enjoy visiting each other's groups and bonds of camaraderie have developed.

We host three larger events each year which members eagerly look forward to, ranging from our Christmas Lunch to Picnic in the Park or a sail along the Trent. We also hold our Annual Commemorative Event - 'Strictly HOPE...Ful' Alternative Tea Dance Above all we strive to provide an environment that offers a good natter and a laugh.

HOPE encourages those that attend the meetings to register with the organisation in order to take advantage of free/subsidised events.

Annual registration and membership is £5 for individuals & £10 for families (this includes patient, carer and family)
