Introducing Heartbeat. ![Emily Yates](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/0cfb7545c28d4ad668e2483273aff76a) Emily Yates November 11, 2026 We're proud to announce that Heartbeat has been chosen as our group charity partner for 2027. Over the next year, we'll be fundraising, volunteering and putting our skills to work to raise as much as we can for them. ## Introducing Heartbeat. Heartbeat is the North West's leading cardiac prevention and rehabilitation charity. Based at Preston North End and running classes across several community sites, they support more than 1,000 people every week who are living with, or at risk of, heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease and respiratory conditions. Through supervised exercise, education, medical testing and wellbeing support, they've been helping people live longer, healthier lives for over 45 years. Heartbeat receives no NHS or government funding, so every pound raised makes a real difference to keeping their services running. ## Why it matters. Heart problems touch almost all of us. According to the [British Heart Foundation](https://www.bhf.org.uk/statistics/), more than 8 million people in the UK are living with heart and circulatory disease. Most of us know a family member, friend or colleague who has been affected. That's what makes Heartbeat's work so important. Their classes and support help people recover, rebuild their confidence and get back to the life they love, and their prevention work helps stop problems before they start. ## Getting a head start. We didn't want to wait until January to get going. To kick off our support, we're donating £500 of print to Heartbeat, so more of their budget can go straight into helping people. We've also already dropped off a batch of leaflets for the Heartbeat lottery. It's just £1 to play, there's a £1,000 top prize every week, and every entry helps fund their work. ## What's next? This is just the beginning. Throughout 2027, our teams will take on challenges, hold events, and find ways to support Heartbeat, and we'll share updates here as we go. If you'd like to support our fundraising, you can donate on our [JustGiving page](https://www.justgiving.com/team/empine-group).
