Charity
Adair is proud to support Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
The Headquarters and ‘National Cardiac Screening Centre’ for CRY (a charity which serves young people and families right across the UK) is based in Leatherhead, Surrey.
Every week, 12 young people aged 35 and under in the UK die suddenly from a ‘hidden’ heart defect. In 80% of these cases, there will have been no warning signs or symptoms until it is too late, which is why CRY believes screening is so vitally important (particularly for those involved in sport and regular, physical activity, which can increase a young person’s risk if they have an underlying condition).
CRY now tests almost 30,000 young people each year, aged between 14 and 35 (and has screened more than 305,000 since the nationwide programme was launched in 1995). The majority of CRY’s screenings are funded by families who have been affected by a young sudden cardiac death so there is no charge to the individual when CRY’s mobile cardiac screening service comes to a local venue (community settings such as schools, colleges, church halls and sports clubs).
We’re excited to be announcing our partnership with CRY not only because this year marks Adair’s 30 years in business and we wanted to do something special, all of us at Adair really believe in this cause.
Every week in the UK, 12 young people aged 35 and under will die suddenly, often without warning, from a ‘hidden’ heart defect, but if they were screened, from the age of 14, this could be prevented. I’m impressed by CRY’s operation in Leatherhead and its mission to increase testing in young people.
Adair is thrilled to announce our official sponsorship of the Crosbie McGeown Academy of Irish Dance. Based in Maida Vale, the academy is a pillar of the London dance community, led by veteran principal teacher and adjudicator Aaron Crosbie ADCRG BG and our very own Joe McGeown TCRG.
Adair did an excellent job as Quantity Surveyor for our club building works on the Gym and Medical Centre. They have stayed on to support us as sponsor which is fantastic.
