We are inviting Teesside University students to fundraise the British Heart Foundation by volunteering their time and taking on a fitness‑boosting challenge while raising funds for life‑saving heart research.

What You'll Do: 

This Heart Month, help keep hearts beating by challenging yourself to walk 28, 50, or 100 miles throughout February.

 

Raise vital funds for lifesaving heart research. Ask your friends, colleagues and family to sponsor you and help to spread the word on your challenge and why this is so important.

  

To ensure fairness to all students, you are unable to count your walking hours as volunteering hours. However, you may accumulate volunteering hours through your fundraising efforts instead.

To do this, you will need to provide evidence of how you have raised funds, how you have promoted the charity, and demonstrate the volunteering activities you have carried out to benefit the organisation.

Why You'll Love It: 
This is a personal challenge you can complete in your own way.  You will be fundraising to support a worthwhile charity. 
What You'll Learn: 
By taking on Walk for Hearts, Teesside University students will gain experience in charity fundraising and understand how donations create real impact, build confidence, communication, and teamwork skills, develop goal‑setting, motivation, and time‑management skills, boost physical and mental wellbeing while fitting activity around uni life, enhance your CV and employability through volunteering experience - all while supporting lifesaving heart research this Heart Month ❤️
What We're Looking For: 
We’re looking for motivated students who want to make a difference, are able to take on a walking challenge, and are keen to fundraise for a life‑saving cause.
