Going Red for Hearts: Our February Fundraising for British Heart Foundation

Going Red for Hearts: Our February Fundraising for BHF ❤️

February was all about hearts—not just the romantic kind, but the life-saving kind too. In support of the British Heart Foundation (BHF), our amazing team came together to raise awareness and vital funds for a cause that touches so many lives.

As a company committed to enhancing the health and well-being of those in our care, Right at Home found a natural partner in the British Heart Foundation. Both organisations share a deep-rooted mission: to support vulnerable individuals, promote healthier living and make a lasting difference in people’s lives. Many of our clients live with heart-related conditions—such as those recovering from strokes, living with diabetes, or managing high blood pressure—making the BHF’s work in research, prevention and awareness especially meaningful. By contributing to this vital cause, we not only reinforce our commitment to compassionate, personalised care but also take an active role in supporting wider public health. It’s a partnership built on shared values—dignity, prevention and community impact.

To kick things off, we rolled up our sleeves and got into baking! We organised a cake bake stand in Uxbridge where we offered a variety of homemade cupcakes and cookies as a form of charity, while also raising public awareness around maintaining heart health. Every treat was lovingly made, filled with heart—and devoured with love! Our delicious cake bake sale was a hit with staff and visitors alike, serving up sweet bites for an even sweeter cause.

Adding to the colour and energy of the day, our entire team wore red to proudly show support for BHF’s 'Wear It. Beat It.' campaign. It was inspiring to see our office lit up in red, reminding us all of the importance of heart health and the strength of the community.

But the heart-pumping action didn’t stop there. Our incredible Regional Manager took on a personal challenge—a six-mile swim! Not only was it an impressive physical feat, but it also helped shine a spotlight on the cause and boosted our fundraising total even higher.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, we raised a brilliant donation of nearly £300 as a team. And as part of our wider network, we’re thrilled to share that we collectively raised nearly £4,000 for the British Heart Foundation!

This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting those living with heart-related conditions—something we see every day through our wide range of care services, including Stroke Rehabilitation, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care, Living with Diabetes, Personal and 24-Hour Support, End of Life Care, Respite Care and more. Whether helping a client transition from hospital to home, or providing daily assistance through Live-in Care or Companionship, our trained CareGivers deliver professional, heartfelt care where it matters most.

We’re proud to care from the heart—and even prouder to support a cause that helps so many others do the same.

One heartbeat at a time. ❤️
