Apply for a 2021 Healthy Heart Grant
Our 2021 grants round is now open! Thanks to funds raised in Subway® stores, we offer Healthy Heart Grants of up to £10,000 to fund community projects across the UK that focus on heart health and promote healthier, happier and longer lives.
This year, we have adapted the criteria for our Healthy Heart Grants in response to the pandemic. We are now offering funding for projects that can be safely delivered during the pandemic, including:
- Funding for projects that can be delivered remotely or with social distancing measures in place that last up to 12 months. Although projects that last for several months may be preferable, we would consider shorter projects, such as one-off events that may last as little as one day or one week (e.g. a socially distanced or online workshop or community event; or a week-long training course).
- Grants for purchases of equipment only, such as exercise equipment, technology, blood pressure monitors, weighing scales etc). This will only be considered if the equipment can be safely used under current social distancing measures and the equipment should be used to promote heart health.
Funding is available to charities and community organisations for new, original and innovative projects that actively promote a healthy heart and help to prevent, or reduce the risk of heart disease in your community. Please check the opening and closing dates for your region and read the Terms and conditions and FAQs before applying.

We can’t do this without you
Through pioneering research and accessible education, Heart Research UK aims to reduce the number of people developing and dying from heart disease, while improving and extending the lives of those affected.
As a charity, we can only do this with your help.
People with certain types of heart disease have a higher risk of developing serious complications from Covid-19 and there is evidence that the virus can cause damage to the heart.
We must continue to do all we can to prevent and treat heart disease.
To help us fund more research and education, please make a small donation to help ensure we can continue our work, now and in the future.
