Corporate Partnerships with HEART UK

Now more than ever, corporations are looking to partner with nonprofit organisations. Consumers are increasingly interested in buying from brands that have a philanthropic aspect to them. Thanks to research conducted in the Cone Cause Evolution Study, we know that 85% of consumers have a more positive image of a product or company when it supports a charity they care about. It’s not just about appearances, though. 80% of consumers are likely to switch brands to one that supports a charity.

HEART UK is the UK’s only cholesterol charity. Our mission is to prevent early disease and deaths from cholesterol and other blood fat (lipid) conditions in the UK. By providing support, information and influencing cholesterol services for families and health professionals, our aim is for people to know and understand their cholesterol and take appropriate action. We’re always striving to create a happier and healthier UK and we believe that can be achieved through increased public awareness - which is where our partnerships with corporations come in!

"Alpro have had a fantastic partnership with HEART UK for over 15 years. Raising the importance of cholesterol is at the heart of everything they do, providing such important support and advice for families and health professionals. Working closely together to produce the very popular co - branded Ultimate Cholesterol Lowering Diet , they have really helped Alpro communicate on the benefits of plant based eating including soya for heart health. They are a really great team to work with , providing so much expertise and knowledge, which as a business we know we can always rely on."

Other ways of partnering 

There are plenty of other ways to partner with HEART UK and connect with your audience in unique ways.

The month offers a fantastic opportunity for companies and brands to get involved and piggyback on all the PR and social media opportunities it creates.  

Alternatively, make a bold statement and have HEART UK as your corporation’s charity of the year! Not only does a partnership with us improve the overall heart health and well-being of your employees, but also gets them involved in an engaging and entertaining way. Whether you participate in fundraising events, recycling initiatives or even try your hand at the London marathon, we’ll work alongside you to create a programme that’s not only exciting for your staff but also works towards our mutual goals.  

“Three decades of research has shown walnuts can support cardiovascular health, and our partnership with HEART UK has allowed us the ability to expand consumer knowledge about California walnuts’ contribution to heart health. HEART UK’s enthusiasm, knowledge and willingness to go above and beyond has been a huge asset to our campaign to develop consumer awareness that walnuts are a key staple in a heart-healthy diet. We have very much enjoyed working with HEART UK and are looking forward to continuing our partnership with them.”
