Heart Research UK and SUBWAY Healthy Hearts Grants

Posted on October 9, 2015

Grants of up to £10,000 are available for not-for-profit organisations to support new and innovative projects that promote heart health and prevent or reduce the risks of heart disease in specific groups or communities in the UK.

The Healthy Heart Grants scheme is a result of a partnership between the Heart Research UK (HRUK) and the SUBWAY franchise. The money for the grants is raised by SUBWAY staff and customers through in-store fundraising and collection boxes. The funding rotates around the UK at different times of the year.

The grant scheme provides financial support to communities so they can lead healthier lifestyles and look after their hearts. Projects should be new and innovative and carried out by not-for-profit organisations to promote healthy hearts and to prevent or reduce the risks of heart disease in specific groups or communities in the UK.

For further information please visit the Heart Search website or contact CVS Falkirk and speak with Tariq or Claire on 01324 692000, alternatively you can email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
