In celebration of BHF Heart Month, the UCL BHF Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) is proud to support the Go Red! campaign, a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising funds and awareness for heart and circulatory diseases. As part of this campaign, we will host a variety of exciting events, including fitness and gym classes, bake sales, resuscitation training, some in collaborations with local hospitals such as UCLH, GOSH, and the Royal Free. These activities aim to bring communities together in the fight against heart disease, while supporting cutting-edge research at the UCL BHF Centre of Research Excellence.

Heart disease remains one of the biggest killers worldwide and UCL BHF CRE’s mission is to reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through prevention and treatment, teaching and training, policy development and advocacy with and for patients.

Join us in wearing red, getting active, and making a difference this Heart Month!

Go Red for Heart Month is all about getting together with your community to raise money for lifesaving research. Whether it's losing a loved one to a cardiac arrest or coping with the devastating impact of heart failure, too many of us have felt the pain of heart and circulatory diseases. We’re urging the nation to help us save and improve more lives by Going Red this February.

 The amazing scientists we fund see first-hand how vital BHF funding is for powering lifesaving research into heart and circulatory diseases. That’s why, for Heart Month 2025, researchers across seven of our Centres of Research Excellence will Go Red to raise funds for BHF. Researchers at the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, King’s College London, Imperial College London, University of Manchester, University of Leicester and University College London will each Go Red in their own way, aiming to be the centre that raises the most funds throughout February and March.
