New £10,000 Funding Available For Healthy Heart Projects
A new £10,000 grant for communities in Northern Ireland has been launched, with the funding available to community projects that aim to improve heart health.
The grant is made available as a result of a partnership between national heart charity, Heart Research UK and the SUBWAY brand.
The application period started on 15 August 2016 and ends on 26 September 2016.
The Heart Research UK and SUBWAY Healthy Heart Grants are being run by the charity, and money for the grants has been raised through in-store fundraising across SUBWAY stores in Northern Ireland.
Funding of £10,000 is available for community groups in the Northern Ireland region and is awarded for original, innovative projects that promote heart health and help communities reduce the risk of developing heart disease. Projects can address a variety of issues such as healthy eating, physical activity and smoking cessation, as long as the focus remains on heart health.
Barbara Harpham, National Director at Heart Research UK, said: "The aim of our partnership with the SUBWAY brand is to encourage people to make good healthy choices and give practical help.
"This funding will help even more people learn how to look after their heart health and ultimately lead healthier, happier, longer lives. It's great that so many SUBWAY store customers and staff have raised the money to get this up and running. Thanks to everyone who has made these grants possible and interested groups can apply for a grant now."
