The 6m high mural can be found on Rushton Grove
As part of the pilot health initiative, the 6m high artwork, located on Rushton Grove, encourages people to ‘take heart’ and get themselves booked in for a free blood pressure check.
Local residents interested in having their blood pressures taken, for free, can visit convenient locations across Openshaw, Beswick and Clayton, including Malawi Heritage UK, Rainbow Haven and St Clement’s Church. These areas have been selected to support areas with the poorest health outcomes. Vicky Fitzgerald, Health Improvement Lead at Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity, said: “Reducing hypertension is currently an NHS priority, and our Community Blood Pressure initiative aims to address this by allowing local communities to access free blood pressure checks in community spaces.
"Upskilling trusted figures in the local community provides a safe and accessible option for local people to prioritise their health and wellbeing, with the Champions having the knowledge to provide all with support in terms of next steps – regardless of the outcomes.”
