the UK's heart health
1. Be our local contact
This is a really easy way to give
time to a great cause. Sign up and we'll let
you know about opportunities in your area you can
get involved in. The great thing is that you can give as
much or as little time as you
want. Here’s a taste of ways you can help:
- Raise funds
Join other
volunteers at supermarket or street collection, place pin
badges or manage static collection boxes near where you live.
- Be a marshall at our
events
Register participants, marshall a course or
give out water at one of our sponsored cycle rides, walks and runs.
Our events are normally in the evenings or at weekends, so are a
great fit around the working week!
- Organise a fundraising
activity
Get your family, friends and colleagues involved. We can
help with publicity posters and other materials
- Promoting our
great services
Help others in your community, tell them about our
Heart Helpline and free Heart
Matters membership service.
2. Be part of something BIG in our shops
The Big Donation will result in massive
amounts of donated goods arriving in our high street shops. We need
lots of helping hands and any time you can give between August
and October will make a BIG difference.
We need big hearted people like you to lend a
hand with:
- local stock collection events
- handing out donation bags
- sorting stock donations in our shops.
There are a huge number of roles available to
suit whatever time and skills you have to spare.
3. Put on an event
From coffee
mornings to sponsored
walks, there are lots of ways to raise funds for
the us. Our
Do it for us
booklet gives some ideas and tips for asuccessful
event. We can help you out with essential materials,
posters and sponsorship
forms, to make sure you get the most from the
day!
4. Campaign to protect the UK's heart health
More than 2.6m people in the UK live with heart disease,
and many are in need of help and support from our
campaings. Help us make a real difference by campaigning with
us. Over 100,000 people helped us last year, and it’s very easy to
join in. Help us fight for a heart healthy future
for all nations of the UK!
