Healthy Hearts Grants

Heart Research UK is now inviting applications under its Healthy Heart Grants Scheme. 

Heart Research UK Healthy Heart Grants support innovative projects designed to promote heart health and to prevent or reduce the risks of heart disease in specific groups or communities. Grants of up to £10,000 are available to community groups, voluntary organisations and researchers who are spreading the healthy heart message. 

The types of projects supported in the past have included; the Foresight Project in Grimsby which encourages visually impaired people to take regular exercise using tandem bicycles 
The Ross-shire Bravehearts project in Inverness which educates adults with learning difficulties about heart health so they can take part in physical activities.
Superleague team, Wakefield Wildcats, which uses star rugby players to educate children about heart health. 

The next closing date is the 28th February 2011.
