The Craig Heartstrong Foundation launches branded beer mats to raise awareness and encourage donations during heart screening weekend

Since the foundation was set up in memory of Craig Lunt, it has screened more than 10,000 young men and women and donated more than 565 defibrillators.

The timing of the beer mat launch coincides with the charities heart screening weekend at Nobleโ€™s Hospital where it is expected, with the assistance of UK charity โ€˜Cardiac Risk in the Youngโ€™ (CRY), to test the hearts of more than 350 young men and women this weekend.

To celebrate another heart screening weekend, we have designed a beer mat with our QR code on to make it easier to donate using your phone whilst out and about visiting some of our pubs.โ€™

The charity needs ยฃ27,500 each time they hold a heart screening weekend and are currently holding two per year, while public access defibrillators cost approximately ยฃ2,000 per unit.
