BUPA’S VICTORIA MANOR TO GO RED FOR HEART THIS FEBRUARY

February is National Heart Month and Bupa’s Victoria Manor Care Home, Edinburgh, Lothian, will be helping to save lives by supporting the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) Red for Heart campaign. The home will be holding a red-themed event on Friday 26 February at 2pm. Activities on the day will include fun aerobics, a staff step and walking challenge and homemade cakes for sale. Residents and visitors will be invited to join the event in the home and raise the much needed funds for the British Heart Foundation. Victoria Manor is raising money to support the BHF’s Red for Heart campaign for National Heart Month this February to help fight the UK’s biggest killer - heart and circulatory disease. Sue Donaldson, home manager of Bupa’s Victoria Manor Care Home, said: “We decided to support the Red for Heart campaign because we wanted to do something fun to support the British Heart Foundation’s vital work. We feel this campaign is such a worthy cause as many of our residents and family members suffer from heart related diseases. It is our way of giving something back.” Jackie Skeel, head of national campaigns at the British Heart Foundation, said: “The money raised from Bupa’s Victoria Manor going Red for Heart campaign will help save lives and fight the UK’s biggest killer. Everyone can get involved with the campaign so please encourage your colleagues or friends to take part and help the BHF make a real difference.” For more information about the Red for Heart campaign please visit www.bhf.org.uk/red, call 0845 2410976 or email red@bhf.org.uk .
