Britain's What's On Event Guide
BHF Shares a Little Piece of its Heart at Buchanan Galleries
This Valentine’s Day (14th February), guests at Buchanan Galleries will have the chance to create origami hearts while learning more about how the heart works - and how to protect it – in
partnership with British Heart Foundation (BHF).
The free event, taking place between 10am and 3pm, located by the Buchanan Galleries flower wall, outside John Lewis & Partners, will be hosted by British Heart Foundation funded researchers. The hands-on experience invites members of the public to create and take home personalised,
colourful origami hearts, while learning fascinating facts about the human heart.
Visitors will also learn about cardiovascular research currently taking place in Scotland, how heart disease develops, and the small lifestyle changes that can help keep hearts healthy and strong.
Researchers will also be sharing real-life insight into their work, including the types of experiments carried out in heart research labs, with a slideshow of images from ongoing studies shown on site to spark discussion and curiosity.
The free event at Buchanan Galleries aims to raise awareness of the vital role research plays in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease - the world’s leading cause of death.
