Appeal

Heart of Scotland

The Heart of Scotland Appeal exists to raise money in Scotland, to be spent in Scotland. But we need your help to save thousands more lives.

48 people die from cardiovascular disease in Scotland every single day.

We need to act now to keep more families together across Scotland. Your kindness and generosity in supporting our appeal powers vital research and community health checks that will save more lives.

Please get involved in any way that you can.

From taking on the Loch Ness Marathon, or an adrenaline-fueled zip slide of The Clyde in Glasgow, to organising your own fundraising or getting your company involved. We’ll be here to help you every step of the way.
