Funding for grants of up to £5,000 or up

promote heart health in their communities, thanks to national charity, Heart
Research UK.
Funding is available through Heart

the risks of heart disease in specific groups or communities. Projects
can address a variety of issues including healthy eating, physical activity and
smoking cessation - with the key focus of improving heart health.
Heart Research UK is now accepting
applications for their autumn grant round, which closes on 31 August 2015.
Community and voluntary organisations,
registered charities, and other not-for-profit organisations based and working
in the UK may apply for grants of up to £5,000 and up to £10,000.
Barbara Harpham, National Director at
Heart Research UK, says:
“The aim of our Healthy Heart Grants 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. Thanks to
everyone who has made these grants possible and interested groups can apply for
a grant now.”
