British Heart Foundation Northern Ireland (BHF NI) are looking for Heart Heroes and Young Heart Heroes in your community.

Is there someone you know living with a heart condition who has achieved something remarkable? A superstar fundraiser that deserves a thank you?  

Nominations are open for the BHF’s 2024 Heart Hero Awards and we need your help to find them.

Our Heart Hero Awards celebrate those who have gone above and beyond for the charity’s cause. From a passerby performing CPR on a stranger, to children with heart conditions who have overcome adversity – the BHF wants to honour them all.  

Fearghal McKinney, Head of BHF NI said: “I would encourage everyone to take the opportunity to celebrate someone who is a heart hero in their local community.

“We have had some very worthy past nominees and winners from here, including Máirtín Mac Gabhann who was honoured for his unwavering commitment to the Donate4Dáithí campaign, raising awareness of organ donation.”

Fearghal added: “With categories to suit every kind of hero, there's no better time to shine a spotlight on all the amazing people who've made a difference to those living with heart and circulatory diseases in Northern Ireland.”

Make sure the Heart Hero in your life gets the recognition they deserve. Go to bhf.org.uk/heartheroes to nominate your Heart Hero before Tuesday 30 th April.
