The programme was kick- started last Wednesday in Council Headquarters at Cloonavin, where Council staff – in partnership with Asda Coleraine – were provided with healthy options for breakfast in order to raise support for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) NI.

The Council has been working in partnership with British Heart Foundation (BHF) NI for the past 18 months on the Borough’s ‘Coleraine Heart Town’ project, which delivered various initiatives to promote heart health messages, including the launch of a Heart Walk at Christie Park Coleraine, and Community based ‘Pass it on Training’.
