At Goals we are at the heart of grassroots football communities, supporting many footballers from all walks of life enjoy the beautiful game.

Our charity partnership with the British Heart Foundation is so important as we recognise that cardiovascular health remains at the forefront of peoples minds in not only the professional game, but for grassroots players where many footballers will begin their careers.

In the past few years, we've seen an increase in the usage of our defibrillators and having the British Heart Foundation as our charity partner, we can educate our staff, players and partners on the importance of living a healthy and happy life.

Only recently we decided to renew all our defibrillators and we are extremely proud to have a defibrillator and trained staff at every club in the Goals estate.

Working alongside the British Heart Foundation we are aiming to raise £85,000. The British Heart Foundations vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. They raise money to research cures and treatments, so they can give people more time with the ones they love.

Heart attacks that strike without warning, strokes that shatter futures, new-born babies born with broken hearts. These are just some of the cruelties of cardiovascular disease. And the brutal reality is, there is so much more for science to discover before we can beat the world's biggest killers.We will be raising funds through awareness days and tournaments to name just a few, you can find out more by visiting http://www.goalsfootball.co.uk/news/goals-x-british-heart-foundation

That's why were so pleased to announce our charity partnership with BHF.

Together, we have a shared vision to tackle the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. This new partnership will help people improve their knowledge and also open up fantastic fundraising and volunteering opportunities for our colleagues.
