October is Black History Month. The theme for 2026 is ‘Honouring Our Communities’ - a time to celebrate the contributions of Black people to Britain’s past, present and future.
While recognising the everyday contributions that help our communities to thrive, it is also important to remember the health inequalities and barriers to healthcare experienced by Black communities.
Our website has links to reasonable adjustments to help people with their health appointments:

This National Cholesterol Month, HEART UK are focusing on a simple message: Cholesterol Matters. Every Swap Counts.

Looking after your heart doesn’t have to mean making big changes all at once. Small, everyday swaps can add up – whether it’s choosing a heart-healthier option at mealtimes, moving a little more, or swapping an old habit for something that supports your wellbeing.

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing simple, achievable swaps to help you take positive steps towards improving your cholesterol and looking after your heart. Because when it comes to heart health, every swap counts.
