Heartbeat, a Lancashire based charity established in 1978, invited residents to join them for a heart-shaped walk around Moor Park on Thursday, September 28.
The aim of the walk was to spread awareness of good heart health in the lead up to World Heart Day.
World Heart Day is a global event that occurs on September 29.
It aims to remind everyone around the world to take care of their hearts.
