Dog walkers were happy to have League of Friends Health Hub volunteers watch over their dogs while going in for a blood pressure check. The majority of those checked were reassured to know they had no cause for concern; 30% were found to need further investigation. 

Volunteers too were checked and commented one who will also now be referred; ‘I need to say thank you! I was all for helping on Saturday not realising it was me who needed it. You are all saving lives. I am so pleased I am a member of the League of Friends Health Hub.’
