Volunteers needed in Rotorua!

The Team from Heart Foundation NZ

This February it’s our Big Heart Appeal street collection and I'm really hoping I can count on your help.

Our success depends on generous people like you, who give 90 minutes of their time to collect much-needed funds for the Heart Foundation. Why 90 minutes? Because every 90 minutes another Kiwi dies from heart disease. But by coming together and shaking a bucket in your community, we can make more life-saving research.

I will be out on the streets collecting alongside fellow Kiwis this February, can I count on you to join me?

Warmest wishes,
Tony Duncan
Chief Executive
