This month Heart Research UK and the Subway franchise renewed their partnership for another year. £300,000 has been raised since 2009 for the HRUK and Subway Healthy Heart Grants scheme. All the money has been raised by franchisees, staff and Subway customers through in-store fundraising and collection boxes.
This was celebrated by Fred DeLuca, co-founder of the Subway brand flying over from America to present Amy Smith, corporate fundraiser at Heart Research UK with a cheque for £300,000, after reaching their target of £100,000 for three years running, which will give over 30 grants to community groups across the UK.
The HRUK and Subway Healthy Heart Grant scheme was launched to provide financial support to communities so they can lead healthier lifestyles and look after their hearts. The grant funds innovative projects that focus on the prevention and reduction of heart disease by using the skills and knowledge of local groups.
The HRUK and Subway Healthy Heart Grant is available to community groups with ideas for new, original and innovative projects that actively promote Heart Health to target groups. These projects aim to help to prevent or reduce the risk of heart disease in their local community.
