Free heart screening Hampshire Cricket Foundation & CRY helping to save lives
Many householders across the Borough already know that we offer an unbeatable service installing dropped kerbs. But did you know that we can also create a smart new driveway for your premises?
Hampshire Cricket Foundation, and Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) have delivered free heart screening sessions for the local community at the Ageas Bowl.
A dropped kerb is a great way of ensuring 24-hour access to your property and a guaranteed parking space for your vehicles. Whilst preventing other road users from blocking your entrance a dropped kerb will also help to improve traffic flow in your area by removing parked cars from the road. Eastleigh Borough Council can install dropped kerbs and also tarmac driveways for both residents and businesses across the Borough.
A team of CRY’s cardiac experts screened 200 patients, as part of an initiative which looks to prevent sudden cardiac death in young people, and eight young people from the screening were referred for immediate follow up. Funded by the Hampshire Cricket Foundation, the screenings are part of the charity’s ‘Changing Lives. Saving Lives’ initiative which aims to deliver a healthier future for people across the county. Stuart Robertson, Hampshire Cricket Foundation CEO said: “We are delighted to support CRY’s cardiac screening programme and I would like to thank the many generous donors to the Hampshire Cricket Foundation that have enabled us to do this.” Dr Steven Cox, Chief Executive of Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) said: “It is a great honour
We now install driveways as well as dropped kerbs Our team has many years of experience of installing dropped kerbs across the Borough we are fully qualified and insured and we provide a fast, high quality service with no hidden extra costs. In Eastleigh Borough, we issue a Penalty Charge Notice to vehicles found parking across a dropped kerb. If you wish to apply to have a dropped kerb installed we can undertake the work for you.

to be associated with the new ‘Changing Lives. Saving Lives’ initiative spearheaded by Hampshire Cricket Foundation. Every week in the UK, around 12 young people under the age of 35 die suddenly from a previously undiagnosed heart condition.”
