We are New Zealand’s heart charity, leading the fight against heart disease. Our purpose is to stop people dying prematurely from heart disease and enable people with heart disease to live full lives.
By taking part in Jumping June, you can help to save and improve lives through supporting investment in life-saving heart research and heart healthy initiatives in communities across Aotearoa.
Heart research is a cornerstone of our work at the Heart Foundation. Research helps to transform our understanding and treatment of heart disease, and we are excited at the progress we have made due to research which is improving the heart health of all New Zealanders.
We offer free curriculum-aligned programmes, initiatives and resources to help schools achieve their physical activity and nutrition goals. Through prevention programmes and educating children on heart health, we are able to make a difference.
