As an Approved Activity Provider for the volunteering section of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, we are thrilled to offer a range of volunteering activities. Being sponsored to do an activity for an hour a week such as a run or cycle ride or planning a fundraising event for your volunteering section is a great way to support the BHF.

Whether you are doing your Bronze, Silver or Gold DofE award we have fundraising ideas so you can support the BHF as part of your volunteering section.

Whether you fancy being sponsored to give up your favourite snack or taking part in a sponsored activity such as walking, cycling or swimming challenge we can help you get started.

£2 can help researchers we fund to isolate the DNA from a patients blood sample, in the hope of finding faulty genes causing heart and circulatory diseases.

£6 can help to buy test tubes that researchers we fund use to aid their research into inherited heart conditions.

£16 could support one of our early career scientists to conduct one hour of research.

£22 provides an hour of vital support from a Cardiac Nurse to answer patients questions

£25 could help to give a researcher an hour of access to a powerful microscope helping them to see whats going on inside heart and blood vessel cells.
