PROJECTS in Warrington which promote healthy lifestyles or improve the lives of heart patients and their carers could benefit from a grant of up to £2,000 from the British Heart Foundation.
The charity is inviting applications to its “Help a Heart Grant programme” which makes funding available to groups who promote healthier lifestyles or support heart patients and their carers. Awards of between £300 and £2,000 can be made to voluntary and community groups.
Grants have been used by local groups to develop online support for heart patients and improve access to information. Funds have also been used to run a swimming programme to promote physical activity to groups of young carers, as well as programmes that help heart patients and their carers manage stress.
Lisa Purcell, Heart Health project manager at the BHF, said: “There are lots of projects across the country doing fantastic work to promote healthier lifestyles or improve the quality of life for heart patients.
“The Help a Heart Grant scheme aims to support projects which are often working in really creative ways to help them continue their work or start-up new schemes.”
