Help a Heart Grants

You could get up to £2,000 to help fund a community heart health project.

If you have an idea for a project that could make a real difference to people living with a heart condition or who are at high risk of heart disease, then our Help a Heart Grant is for you.

What projects are eligible?

Can you think of a project that would help improve the quality of life for heart patients or their carers? Or a project that would help promote healthier lifestyles? Anything that promotes heart health may be eligible for a Help a Heart Grant. We’re particularly interested in original and creative ideas.

Your project must be patient led. The more evidence of patient involvement and need you can provide, the stronger your application will be.

Projects previously awarded a grant include:

• activities that promote healthier lifestyles – stopping smoking, healthy eating and exercise
  
  
• producing information for people where English is not their first language
  
  
• setting up a local heart health information library
