Hearty Lives Newham

If you live in Newham, you’re more likely to suffer from heart disease than people living in other areas of London.   So we’re investing £1.5 million in improving the heart health of your community. 

In partnership with NHS Newham and London Borough of Newham, we’re offering:

• help for Eastern European women, teenagers and others to stop smoking
• a cardiac nurse to help heart patients in their homes
• two nurse educators to teach local people more about heart health
• training for school children in emergency life saving skills
• free fitness and health programmes for young men, in partnership with West Ham United Football Club
• heart health checks in community venues

Local West Ham United player Mark Noble was on hand at one of our events to give advice eating and training as a professional footballer.  You can see an interview with him in our new video.
