About Jersey Heart Support Group

Jersey's dedicated heart health charity

Our story

Built by volunteers, rooted in Jersey

Founded in 2011 by a group of Jersey cardiac patients, Jersey Heart Support Group (JHSG) proudly celebrated their 15th anniversary in June 2026. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in Jersey and we exist to educate on heart health, help heart disease prevention, provide the means for early diagnosis and to support individuals and their families affected by heart conditions.

We are also known for our free CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training as well as the provision and placement of AEDs across the island at cost price.

Please contact us if you would like to know more about any of these issues.

Tracey Jeanne

Jersey born, Tracey has not only experienced breast cancer, but also had open heart surgery in March 2022 and more recently had a pace maker fitted. She wants to use her experience to help others and knows that having a heart condition can be very frightening and having the support of others who have been through similar things is hugely valuable.

Ian Blackburn

Recently retired from Finance, Ian wanted to use his skills in helping a local charity and make a meaningful difference to our island community.

Sarah Le Gresley
Assistant Treasurer

I volunteer for the Jersey Heart Support Group because supporting people affected by heart conditions is something I care deeply about. I have family members living with heart conditions. I want to help raise awareness, support families, and contribute to work that can improve and save lives in our community. Volunteering gives me the opportunity to give back, meet inspiring people, and make a positive difference through fundraising, events, and community support.

Anne Blackburn
Secretary

Also recently retired and with a background in administration, I'm used to keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Volunteering lets me bring those strengths to a cause I care about, helping the charity grow and ensuring our services reach the people who rely on them.

Adele Amy
Committee Member

I am pleased to be part of this charity as my late father had heart problems for many years which resulted in open heart surgery. My husband also has a heart defect. I enjoy helping out at charity events and it is an honour to promote and raise vital funds for this charity.

Conor Neeson
Committee Member

Conor was born in Ireland and moved to Jersey in 2009. He was a previous committee member of the BHF and became involved whilst fundraising for previous challenges, having received the support of the cardiac team in Jersey. Balancing commitments through family, work and future challenges, he is keen to support JHSG and help the local community.

Mark Harris
Operations Manager & Defibrillator Network Coordinator

With cardiac issues impacting on my family I have a passion for the support that Jersey Heart Support Group provides. I enjoy training others on CPR and the use of AEDs and designing new awareness campaigns.
