We believe everyone has the right to live life to the full following a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or Long Covid.
Our care and support ensure that everyone can live the life they want. Across Scotland, we provide vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived strategy.
Join our team of Kindness Callers, who provide a listening ear to individuals affected by these conditions via weekly telephone calls to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness.
