Following their success in the press tables, the Doncaster Rovers Community Team are now lending their support to the Test your Heart campaign to help kick start the service into a whole new league.

The Doncaster Test your Heart service - launched with local born actor Keith Barron in June - is a free local heart check initiative run by Doncaster Primary Care Trust. Having already captured the heart of local support groups and organisations, the Test your Heart initiative now hopes to reach many more people in the local community with the help of the Doncaster Rovers Community Team.

"I really admire what the Test your Heart campaign is working to achieve - making free health checks easily accessible to the local community can make a real difference to peoples' lives." Richard Bailey, Community Officer for Doncaster Rovers

Test your Heart is a heart health screening service aimed at men and women aged 40 years and over living in the Borough's most deprived areas. The service provides the people of Doncaster with quick and easy heart checks, with the goal of reducing the number of people who die prematurely from heart disease in the area.

People aged 40 or over living in certain areas of Doncaster can call free on 08000 121 808 to book an appointment for a heart check near them. For more information about the service and to get a step-by-step look at what will happen during these very simple tests visit www.testyourheart.org.uk.

Ann Clarke (above), one of the nurses says, "Test your Heart is a heart disease screening pilot scheme launched by the PCT in a bid to tackle the shocking figures that place the town in the worst 20% of the country's local authority areas when it comes to the number of people under 75 years old dying from the disease."
