Redmoor Health is pleased to be supporting Your Heart, Your Move, a new funded heart health programme launching across North Doncaster.
Funding has been awarded through the British Heart Foundation Healthcare Implementation Fund to support a practical, community-based programme that helps residents better understand their heart health, identify potential risks earlier and connect with support closer to home.
The programme will be delivered through a local partnership involving Primary Care Doncaster, Doncaster North West Primary Care Network, Be Well Doncaster, Doncaster Council, Recipe4Change, Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust and Redmoor Health.
Bringing prevention into local communities
Heart health prevention works best when it feels accessible, practical and connected to people’s everyday lives.
Your Heart, Your Move has been designed to bring support into familiar community settings, rather than relying only on formal clinical routes. The aim is to make it easier for residents to access simple checks, understand their personal heart health risk and find support that can help with healthier eating, physical activity, wellbeing and wider lifestyle changes.
The programme will focus on adults aged 40 to 74 across Doncaster and will run across two linked streams.
Around 20 community heart health events
The first stream will involve around 20 community heart health events over the next year.
These events will offer residents the chance to access free heart health checks, understand their personal heart health score, receive NHS App support and find out about local services that can help them take positive steps.
The first event is planned for Bentley on 23 May, from 10am to 2pm, at Bentley Pavillion, Women’s Wellbeing Day in partnership with Doncaster Council.
Further events will follow across Doncaster throughout the year, with dates and venues shared through local GP practices, community venues, social media and partner organisations.
Structured women’s heart health groups
The second stream will provide structured women’s heart health groups for women aged 40 to 74.
These groups will run in cohorts across the year and will combine practical sessions with ongoing support. The programme will include healthy cooking sessions with Recipe4Change, physical activity, stress and mindfulness support, sleep advice, nutrition sessions, NHS App help and follow-up heart health checks.
This strand is designed to give participants practical ideas they can build into daily life, from simple recipes and activity goals to better understanding their health and accessing local support.
Redmoor’s role
Redmoor is supporting the programme through communications, digital engagement, campaign delivery and programme coordination.
This includes helping to promote local events, support resident engagement, develop programme materials, strengthen digital follow-up and make sure communications are clear, accessible and targeted to the communities the programme is trying to reach.
The programme reflects the kind of work Redmoor is increasingly supporting across primary care: helping local partners turn prevention priorities into practical delivery that reaches residents, supports behaviour change and creates learning that can inform future services.
A partnership approach to prevention
Your Heart, Your Move brings together clinical leadership, public health, community services, leisure, cooking and digital engagement into one joined-up programme.
By combining broad community events with more structured women’s heart health groups, the programme will test how different approaches can help residents engage with prevention, understand their risk and access support earlier.
Further updates will be shared as the programme launches, and the first community events get underway.
