On behalf of Chest heart and Stroke Scotland, may I take this opportunity to send sincere thanks to all of the many volunteers and supporters in Inverclyde who have contributed to the work of our charity in 2010.
Chest, heart and stroke illness can affect anyone.
Thanks to advances in treatment, and changes in lifestyle, many more people survive heart attacks and strokes than ever before - a real success story for Scotland's health.
however, this means that many more people, and their families, are living with the long-term impact of these conditions.
Chest heart and Stroke Scotland is the only charity providing services throughout Scotland for people affected by chest, heart and stroke illness.
During 2010, we were able to help more than 10,000 people through our advice line and patient information, support groups, financial grants, and our wide range of local services, which we provide in communities throughout Glasgow and Clyde.
None of this would be possible without the contribution of our volunteers.
Their work is absolutely vital in our local support groups, charity shops and other activities.
We very much appreciate the commitment, enthusiasm and care they bring to the charity and to their local community. With continuing grateful thanks, and best wishes for 2011.
DaviD H Clark, Chief Executive
