British Heart Foundation
Welcome to British Heart Foundation
Your heart is precious. Together, with your donations, we can power the research that helps protect it if something goes wrong.
We are British Heart Foundation (BHF)
Our vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. We raise money to research cures and treatments, so we can give people more time with the ones they love.
Heart attacks that strike without warning, strokes that shatter futures, newborn babies born with broken hearts. These are just some of the cruelties of cardiovascular disease. And the brutal reality is, there is so much more for science to discover before we can beat the world’s biggest killers.
That’s why British Heart Foundation exists. Funding research is how we change the game. And we all have a role to play. The tools we have at our disposal today – from heart transplants and pacemakers to stents and portable defibrillators – are all down to research. Research made possible by people like you.
When we join forces, we can make the impossible possible. We can take the best and brightest ideas from scientists’ minds and help turn them into treatments you can get at your GP. We can make theories on pages jump into reality. Our research can save your life and your family’s lives.
But without you? It all stops tomorrow. Medical breakthroughs don’t just happen. Driven by love, donations and awe-inspiring science, we make them happen together.
Saving lives with science
We have been funding science since 1961. Heart transplants, pacemakers, portable defibrillators and valve replacements are all breakthroughs we have helped fund.
Tackling health inequalities
We’re shaping and influencing Government policy to create a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory disease.
Helping people in their hour of need
From our Heart Helpline to information backed by clinical experts, we help those living with heart and circulatory diseases to get the best guidance, support and access to the services they need.
Raising valuable funds
You are our heroes. Whether you’re donating money and items, fundraising or volunteering your time, it’s your support that helps fund our life saving research.
What we do
We fund around £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They’re all connected, and they’re all under our microscope.
