Heart Towns is a new scheme where entire
communities come together to help beat heart disease.
Heart Towns and cities benefit from our range of resources and
education programmes so that everyone can take practical steps to
improve their heart health.
Heart Towns also host a wide range of events and activities,
such as
Heart Town rides, walks or runs - uniting
the community for one day to fundraise for our
Mending Broken Hearts Appeal.
Alternatively, you could create your very own One Day event by inviting family, friends,
colleagues and neighbours to sponsor you to do something, and
help raise vital funds.

keeping your heart
healthy, including a magazine that’s packed with great
ideas and support.
- Keeping Young Hearts Beating – a
programme for local schools, youth groups and nurseries – including
Arties Olympics, Ultimate Dodgeball and Jump Rope for Heart.
- Health at Work – turn your work
place into a more active, energised environment with this free
package of practical tools and resources to promote better health
