A PHARMACY is offering free heart checks as part of a national All About Health campaign, called 50 Hearts.

Asset Chemist is encouraging residents to have a check during National Cholesterol Month in October.

Pharmacies all over the UK are taking part in the campaign and all those that complete 50 checks in October will join a prize draw.

The winning three pharmacies will receive a cheque to give to a local charity.

To take a test, visit Asset Chemist, in Dock Road, Tilbury, or for more advice about looking after your heart visit allabout health.org.uk
