Since the Covid pandemic, all charity led fund raising activites have been curtailed, though as demand picks up again this would be something we will be looking at restarting again.
In the meantime, if you would like to run an event for our benefit, we have a team of helpers to make it as easy and successful as possible. And, of course, we’ll help you publicise it on this site and our facebook group.
If you are considering planning a fund raising event, please contact us.
Individual Fundraisers
There are lots of ways you could help to raise funds for Hearts & Souls and we share a few ideas below.
Set yourself a challenge:
- Sponsored walk
- Bike ride
- Run a 5K, 10K, half or full Marathon
- Swim-athon
- Triathlon
Online Auction:
- Ask for donations from business, friends and family and set up an online auction using social media.
- People can browse the lots and place bids from the comfort of their own homes.
- Place a deadline on bids and use a fundraising page for people to pay for their winning lots.
Birthday or Xmas Donation Gift:
- Ask for donations to Hearts & Souls instead of presents and use your celebrations to help others when it matters most.
- Here’s an idea – if looking for facebook or other social media donations to help celebrate your birthday, copy this link into your message – https://www.justgiving.com/hearts-souls/
Bake:
- If you’re a whizz in the kitchen, put your talents to good use.
- Ask friends, family or neighbours for a donation in return for making their favourite cakes, bakes or box of treats!
Thank you so much for your generous support and remember to set up your JustGiving page to help you collect donations on your fundraising adventure.

The Hearts & Souls London Bridges Walk
Pre-Covid, every year we organised a hugely enjoyable and social London Bridges Walk which took place on the final Sunday of September – this is an event we are keen to see reintroduced, if you feel you can help with the organisation of this event please let us know.
About the walk
The last walk took place on Sunday 29th September 2019. Starting from Putney Bridge and finishing at around 1.30pm at Tower Bridge. It’s approximately 12 miles or 33,000 steps mostly on pavements and hard surfaces but there are some steps to climb to cross some of the bridges. This event is a big fundraiser for us but also a chance to meet fellow cardiac patients and swap heart stories, it’s also great fun and a wonderful way to take in the London river views and landmarks.
