Healthcare messages for all
As the UK’s third biggest killer and major cause of disability, stroke is a huge issue. Yet many strokes can be prevented – something which many people are simply unaware of.
We work with our corporate partners not only to raise funds from them, their employees and customers, but also to help them to raise awareness of stroke and help their employees and customers to avoid having a stroke themselves.
Blood Pressure Testing
High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke. Many people are unaware that they could have high blood pressure.
By finding out what you blood pressure is and taking steps to reduce it, you can drastically reduce your stroke risk.
As part of our Know Your Blood Pressure campaign, we can organise blood pressure testing days for your company. For a minimum donation, we can send one of our trained experts along to take blood pressure readings from your workforce, and give them information on how to reduce their blood pressure if it's high.
This is an excellent way for companies to demonstrate to their workforce their commitment to their health and wellbeing.
