What are you doing for Valentine’s Day? Buying more chocolates, cards and flowers? Can we instead start with the heart around Valentine’s Day to use the power of an hour and do much more than this – to make a better world? Yes we can!!

Heart refers to the idea of caring for the world and doing more for our common humanity, reducing disparities and helping others both here and globally.

The Global Heart Hour idea builds on 4 years of a Global Heart project and 25 years of a Valentine’s Day for Heart Health event. There is a reciprocal relationship between heart disease, poverty and development, with heart health promotion now advocated for reducing disparities. See [Media and Links] for reference.
