HEART Research UK would like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part in our national Sing for your Heart week last December.

We reached all corners of the country and it's thanks to support by local people all over the country that we had our biggest and best year yet.

Choirs, bands, schools, offices and groups of friends all over the UK broke out in song and organised concerts, gigs and carol singing to raise money for heart research.

Sing for your Heart will take place December 8-15 this year and plans are under way to make it even bigger.

We are looking for choirs to sing in stations and shopping centres, schools to do concerts, companies to run fundraising days and bands or event organisers to put on gigs.
