How your Money can help

As a local charity in Northern Ireland we currently rely on voluntary donations to fund our services. Every pound raised for our work is greatly appreciated.

We support any family in Northern Ireland whose child has heart disease; from first diagnosis, to treatment, surgery, recovery and beyond.

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect in children born in Northern Ireland with on average 200 babies per year born with one or more heart conditions.

Check out our facts and figures page which shows you a selection of the support services we have been able to offer our families from April 2016 to April 2017. As you will see, your generosity offers a wide variety of support to those in need.
