Heart Research UK & SUBWAY fund healthy heart projects
Melanie May | 4 March 2016 | News
Heart Research UK and SUBWAY have teamed up to offer funding of up to £10,000 for community projects that improve heart health.
The grants are available in specific regions throughout the year. Applications are currently open for community groups in Scotland, and the HTV and Tyne Tees regions. The deadline for Scotland is 25th March, with the 30th March and 4th April for HTV, and Tyne Tees.
Grants will be awarded for original, innovative projects that promote heart health and help reduce the risk of developing heart disease. Projects can address a variety of issues such as healthy eating, physical activity and stopping smoking, providing the key focus remains on heart health.
Projects can apply for a Healthy Heart grant online at http://heartresearch.org.uk/community-grants/register-account-complete-healthy-heart-grant-application-form or sign up to receive an alert when funding is available in their area.
Barbara Harpham, national director at Heart Research UK, said:
“The aim of our partnership with the SUBWAY brand is to encourage people to make good healthy choices and give practical help. This funding will help even more people learn how to look after their heart health and ultimately lead healthier, happier, longer lives. It’s great that so many customers and staff at SUBWAY stores have raised the money to get this up and running. Thanks to everyone who has made these grants possible and interested groups can apply for a grant now.”
