SIR – Yorkshire’s own national charity, Heart Research UK, would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who took part in our annual Sing for your Heart campaig.

People from all over the country broke out in song to raise money for our charity and, together, we raised thousands – with more coming in – to help fund our pioneering research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease

Singing has some great health benefits and psychological benefits and if you’re feeling the January blues, why not boost your mood by having a sing-song or join a local singing group as a New Year’s resolution?

For more information on how you can get involved in our Sing for your Heart campaign later this year, call us on (0113) 2347474, e-mail fundraising@ heartresearch.org.uk, or visit our website at singforyourheart.org.uk.
