We are an independent charity and our partnerships help us to reach as many people as possible.
We work closely with government organisations such as Public Health England and charities including the British Heart Foundation, The Stroke Association and Heart UK.
We also work with a small selection of companies who share our aim of helping people take control of their lifestyle, their blood pressure and their long-term health. Below are some of the companies we work with.

LoSalt
A diet high in sodium can raise your blood pressure and most of the sodium we consume is in the form of salt. We actively encourage people to eat less salt, both on a national level by campaigning for better manufacturing processes, and for individuals by raising awareness and recommending other flavours in cooking instead of salt.
The Department of Health recommends that we consume no more than 6g of salt per day – that's in total, remembering to account for all the salt present in everyday foods we eat such as breads, cereals, processed meats, as well as meals eaten out. And then there is the salt we add ourselves to consider, either in our own cooking or at the table.
We are delighted to partner with LoSalt®, the UK's leading reduced sodium salt alternative, who have championed the public to Season with SenseTM, for over 4 decades.
Ideally, everyone should cut down or even stop adding salt to their food. But we know that many people would find this really hard because they enjoy the enhanced flavour that salt can provide. If that’s the case then it’s good to know that there is an alternative to regular salt.
With 66% less sodium than regular table salt, sea salts and rock salts, switching to LoSalt can help maintain normal blood pressure without sacrificing flavour.

May Measurement Month (MMM)
May Measurement Month (MMM) is the global campaign led by the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) to raise awareness of the need to get your blood pressure checked.
MMM builds on the World Hypertension League’s (WHL) established World Hypertension Day, held on 17 May each year, with health professionals volunteering to offer free blood pressure measurements at local screening sites around the world.
After three successful years, over 4.2 million people were screened in almost 100 countries and almost 1 million people identified with untreated or inadequately treated hypertension. Over 90 countries have signed up to take part, aiming to test 1 million people.
May Measurement Month is supported by Blood Pressure UK.
