Caroline Coskry, Chair of The Oracle Group comments: “Every year we like to partner with a local charity and for 2025, our team voted to support Cardiac Risk in the Young. Being based in Epsom, we are very local to CRY’s Headquarters and to its National Cardiac Screening Centre in Leatherhead, and we are impressed by the incredible work that the charity does. We are looking forward to working with CRY throughout the year to help make a real difference to young people and their families.”

CRY estimates that 1 in 300 young people have a potentially life-threatening heart condition and report that every week in the UK 12 young people die from ‘hidden’ heart defects. Cardiac screenings are therefore vitally important for identifying and subsequently managing these underlying conditions.

Making screening more accessible for young people, CRY offers cardiac screening services at local venues across the country at no cost to the individual. To date, CRY has screened over 314,000 young people aged between 14 and 35 since launching its nationwide programme in 1995. The programme uses painless and non-invasive ECG machines to screen the heart for most cardiac abnormalities in just a few minutes. Where abnormal readings are detected, the CRY team refers young people on for further investigation.
