Hearty Lives Newham

Hearty Lives Newham is a major £1.5 million programme to improve the heart health of the Newham community.  Working in partnership with NHS Newham and London Borough of Newham, the programme will:

• tackle high rates of smoking through programmes targeted towards Eastern European women, teenagers and others
• provide a cardiac nurse to help heart patients in the community, and two nurse educators to teach local people more about heart health
• train children in schools throughout Newham in emergency life saving skills so they can respond to emergencies in the home or community
• help to get kids and young men more active through physical activity initiatives
• provide heart health checks in community venues
• teach children in schools more about heart health
