Major gifts
Our fight against heart disease requires
long-term investment. This is why the support we receive from
individuals, charitable trusts and foundations is essential.
Heart pioneers
If you give between £1,000 and £25,000 a
year you become a Heart Pioneer. Your support as a
Heart Pioneer could fund research; PHDs; young
people's projects; prevention and care activity or our Mending Broken Hearts appeal.
Mike Daniels and Gemma Cockshott
are Heart Pioneers and support our Mending Broken Hearts
Appeal.
We are delighted and proud to be part of such an amazing programme
Mike and Gemma say,
"We are delighted and proud to be part
of such an amazing programme. The thought that such ground-breaking
work could be possible in our lifetime makes you very
humble."
Trusts and foundations
Your gift can support a specific project or you can choose to
allow us to allocate it to where the need is greatest. Whichever
option you choose, we will work closely with you ensuring you are
kept informed of how your gift has made a difference.
