Making a difference
People living in the poorest neighbourhoods will, on average, die several years earlier than people living in the richest neighbourhoods. Heart disease is a major cause of these premature death rates.

Our £11 million Hearty Lives programme aims to reduce these inequalities in heart disease through local partnership working and tailored projects for those who need them most.
