It’s incredible to see the students at King Edward VI School so dedicated to supporting local charities. Their decision to donate to Heartbeat and specifically to fund the Cardiac Youth Worker role is truly inspiring. Experiencing a loved one with a cardiac issue at a young age can be extremely challenging, and the school’s commitment to helping their community and fellow students who may be facing this situation is phenomenal. A heartfelt ‘thank you’ goes out to the students and staff at King Edward VI School, as well as to the families and friends who generously contributed to their fundraising efforts.” Neal Parker, Head of King Edward VI School, said: “Heartbeat’s work is essential not only to our community but also to those far beyond our region. We are deeply honored that our pilot Cardiac Youth Worker role has resonated with students at King Edward’s, inspiring them to join our efforts in fundraising to keep this role available to many young people. It’s incredibly heartening to see young people stepping up to support their peers who are living with heart conditions. Their involvement demonstrates a strong commitment to making a difference, and it brings hope for a more compassionate future for all affected by cardiac health challenges.” Fully funded by Heartbeat, Becky reaches out to young people who are either inpatients or outpatients at the hospital, in the community, in colleges, at school or at home, to give them the support they need. e Handy Trust run youth clubs in Hythe and Marchwood, for children in years 5 and up, until the age of 16.
