The motion

That the Parliament notes that 29 September 2021 is World Heart Day, which highlights the impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the actions that people can take to prevent and control CVD; recognises the role that local community groups have in helping people with cardiac disease to stay active and healthy; applauds the role of volunteers such as Sheena and John Thomson, who have been involved for 17 years in running the Killie Heartmates exercise group in Kilmarnock and who worked tirelessly during the COVID-19 pandemic to make sure the group’s members were still supported during the lockdowns, and understands that the Killie Heartmates celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021 and is affiliated to Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, which has 28 heart support groups with 1,141 members across Scotland, which form a key part of the charity’s Hospital to Home support service.
