The Big Scottish Picnic is the Heart of Scotland Appeals flagship fundraiser.

People all over Scotland are coming together (in person or virtually) to host their Big Scottish Picnics to raise money for the Heart of Scotland Appeal.

This year is the first ever Big Scottish Picnic and we would love you to get involved! We are encouraging people to hold their picnics in Heart of Scotland Week from 7th 14 June. Youll find loads of information on our website on how to make the most out of your picnic!

A Big Scottish Picnic is the perfect chance to see friends and family, enjoy some delicious treats and share stories about those you love, with those you love, all while raising vital funds to help take on heart disease.

47 people die from cardiovascular disease every day in Scotland. Hosting a Big Scottish Picnic will raise money for the Heart of Scotland Appeal, raising money in Scotland for Scotland.

We know research works, but the 700,000 people living with heart disease need it to pick up the pace. Hosting a Big Scottish Picnic will help fund pioneering medical research here in Scotland. You can find out more about our research at www.heartofscotland.org.uk
