National charity Heart Research UK is urging groups to submit applications for the Heart Research UK and Subway® Healthy Heart Grant, before Monday 2 July. The Heart Research UK and Subway® Healthy Heart Grant is available for original and innovative projects that promote heart health and reduce the risk of developing heart disease in the community. Projects should aim to promote activities such as cooking skills, healthy eating, improving physical activity levels and mental wellbeing, all with a focus on a heart healthy lifestyle. The £10,000 has been raised locally in Subway® stores throughout Scotland, and through the nationwide Subway Helping Hearts Family 5K fun runs including in Glasgow and Edinburgh last year (May and June respectively). Barbara Harpham, Chief Executive at Heart Research UK, says: “The aim of our partnership with the Subway® brand is to encourage people to make good healthy choices and give practical help. This grant will help even more people learn how to look after their heart health and lead healthier, longer lives. It’s great that so many customers and staff at Subway® stores have raised the money to get this up and running. Thanks to everyone who has made these grants possible. This is your last chance so apply now!” Sacha Clark, Marketing Director for Subway® in the UK and Ireland, says: “The Subway® brand is delighted that through our partnership with Heart Research UK, this funding is now available. Subway® stores in the region have enjoyed fundraising and, combined with money generously donated by our customers in store, we’re proud to be able to offer this grant throughout Scotland. “We have worked hard to spread the healthy heart message through Subway® stores and it’s wonderful to be able to take this to the next level by supporting community projects that also place heart health at the top of their agenda. We really appreciate the fact that this initiative reaches out to people from all walks of life, in all manner of ways, to help improve lifestyles and educate people on keeping their hearts healthy.” The deadline for applying is Monday 2 July.
28TH JUNE 2018 NORTH EAST WEEKLY 13 Pedestrian, cyclists and motorcyclists are being encouraged to take extra care on the roads, as Police Scotland launches a week-long national vulnerable road users campaign Head of Road Policing Chief Superintendent Stewart Carle, said, "As schools, colleges and universities prepare for their summer break, the tourist season nears its peak, and our weather hopefully takes a turn for the better, we can expect to see an increase in the number of people venturing out on foot and pedal cycles to enjoy it. "I am heartened by the statistics issued earlier this week which showed that casualties on our roads are the lowest since records began. It is still the case, however, that 146 people lost their lives on our roads in 2017, and I am all too aware of the devastation such incidents cause, a devastation that extends well beyond immediate family and friends, and one that lasts a lifetime for those affected. "All road users, particularly those in the vulnerable category, are encouraged to take responsibility for their own safety and to share our road space respectfully and responsibly too. The increased use of new technologies, mainly smart phones, has increased the risks of road traffic distraction, for both drivers and pedestrians. Pedestrians who walk when they are distracted by mobile phones are commonly referred to as Smombies (smart phone zombies) are at particular risk, and I am appealing to them to be aware of their surroundings at all times. "It is a sad fact that young people under the age of 15 are most at risk of being injured on our roads, while pedestrians over the age of 64 accounted for a third of the pedestrians killed. Almost two thirds of pedestrians who were killed or seriously injured were male, yet they make up only 49% of the population, and around a quarter of the pedestrians killed on the roads were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. "During this week-long campaign, all Police Scotland officers will be out engaging with the public to both educate and, where necessary, enforce, to positively influence attitudes and road user behaviour. "You can find out more about what we are up to on Facebook and Twitter using the hash tag #GoSafeRoadSafe.
