Speaking at the launch, Fane Valley – Group Chief Executive, Trevor Lockhart MBE remarked, “We are thrilled to launch ‘Happy Hearts’ and to work with NI Chest Heart & Stroke and the Irish Heart Foundation.  After several discussions with our new charity partners, we feel that both organisations naturally complement each other and relate to all staff regardless of where they work across the business. We look forward to building a calendar of activities and events for our teams across the Group, as we seek to engage, educate and fundraise to support these worthy causes. We are also keen to build awareness of healthy habits we can all adopt to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.”

The funds raised by Fane Valley Group will enable us to continue to help the local communities and provide life-changing services for people living with chest, heart and stroke conditions and their families. We are very excited to be working with Fane Valley and their Group of companies along with, the Irish Heart Foundation and look forward to a great partnership.”
