Welcome to HEART

HASTINGS EMERGENCY ACTION RESPONSE TEAM

The home of Hastings mutual aid

We are a grassroots network of community volunteers willing to be called on to help people, organisations and projects across Hastings. Created initially as a response to the Coronavirus crisis and now here to connect and support our community using our dynamic team of volunteers.

Need Some Help?

There are many ways that HEART can help out, whether it’s a one-off bit of shopping, a friendly ear to chat to, or maybe you’re stuck for a lift to a doctor’s appointment.

We can also help point you towards the support or advice you need.

Just remember that what you may think is the smallest of helping hands can make a big difference to someone

Make a difference

Get involved even if its only for a short time, or 1 or 2 hours a week. It means so much to others and it’s very enjoyable
