The British Heart Foundation is Lloyds Banking Group’s chosen Charity of the Year until June 2010. Working together with the BHF we aim to raise £2,000,000 to fund at least 15 new BHF Heart Nurses in local communities. These nurses will give specialist care and support to improve the physical and emotional health of over 8,400 heart patients and their families.
About the British Heart Foundation
The British Heart Foundation is the nation’s heart charity. BHF is dedicated to saving lives through pioneering research, patient care, campaigning for change and providing vital information to help people care for their own heart health.
The scale of the challenge BHF are tackling is immense - heart disease is the single biggest killer in the UK.
Doing our bit to help
Lloyds Banking Group is determined to help the BHF make a difference. More than £1.2 million was raised in the first 12 months of our relationship and these funds have so far enabled 9 new BHF Heart Nurses to help those most in need of specialist cardiac care. Until June 2010 our people will be undertaking all sorts of activities to bring our fundraising total towards our target of £2 million. We will also be working alongside the BHF on campaigns to get its healthy heart message across to everyone.
