– ROYAL MAIL
Royal Mail aims to deliver economic and social benefits for its people, customers and the communities it serves. A key strand of Royal Mail’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy is Community Investment. In 2021-22 the company invested £5.6 million in Community Investment.
The national charity partnership is a key way in which Royal Mail delivers its community investment strategy using its national scale and local presence and inspiring through education. Previous national charity partnerships have included Action for Children, The Stroke Association and Prostate Cancer UK. All partnerships have raised over £2 million.
We are thrilled to be announced as Royal Mail’s national charity partner and want to say a heartfelt thank you to all colleagues who voted for us to win this prestigious partnership.
With 7.6 million people living with heart and circulatory diseases in the UK, and these conditions tragically killing one in four people, we need to urgently find ways to keep millions of hearts beating so that more families can be together for longer.
Our new Community Hearts programme with Royal Mail will support people across the UK to better manage their conditions, no matter who they are or where they live. We’ll also make our communities safer, equipping the lifesavers of tomorrow through vital CPR training programmes and providing access to life saving equipment – giving everyone the very best chance of survival.
We can’t wait to get started and look forward to working with Royal Mail to help save more lives.
Dr Charmaine Griffiths, Chief Executive of the British Heart Foundation

Royal Mail care about nothing….not their staff, nor their business customers. They have to be really taking the p*ss if they are saying they care about heart health.
Royal Mail don’t care about anything except for their shareholders.
