The big brands partnering with BHF this Heart Month
This Heart Month we’ve partnered with some of the UK’s favourite brands to help save lives all over the UK.
Tesco, Omaze, PureGym, Travelodge, Royal Mail, Crew Clothing, Next and allbeauty are all joining us in our mission to save lives this Heart Month.
Together we want to help save lives by encourage others to learn CPR through our RevivR tool and help save lives tomorrow by raising funds for research into heart and circulatory diseases.
Only possible with your help
Alison Mitchell, our Head of Partnerships, said: “We fund lifesaving programmes and research to find new treatments and cures for heart and circulatory conditions, which affect 7.6 million people in the UK. But this is only possible due to the generous support and donations of the public and our corporate partners.
“We’re delighted to work with incredible brands like Tesco, Omaze, PureGym, Travelodge, Royal Mail, Crew Clothing, Next and allbeauty this Heart Month, to help us save more lives today, tomorrow and for many years to come.”
As part of our helping you to live healthier partnership with Tesco, this Heart month, we are joining forces to inspire the nation to take care of their heart health. Tesco is helping hearts all over the UK by sharing delicious heart healthy recipes and is also encouraging its customers to get a free blood pressure check at their local Tesco pharmacies. It’s even asking its colleagues and customers to learn lifesaving CPR with our RevivR tool too.
Omaze, the online charity fundraising platform, is partnering with us during Heart Month to offer one lucky person the chance to win a stunning £3 million house in North London. As well as making its grand prize winner a multi-millionaire, the London II House Draw is aiming to raise a minimum of £500,000 for us – this would be enough to fund one of our research projects for over three years.
