Northern Ireland
Heart and circulatory disease is Northern
Ireland’s biggest killer, claiming nearly 5,000
people each year – around a third of all deaths. We’re dedicated to
helping local people live longer and better lives with healthier
hearts.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of our supporters and volunteers in
Northern Ireland, in the last year we have:
- invested
£935,000 on heart research in Northern
Ireland - that’s over £2,000 a day funding local research to help
beat heart disease
- provided BHF Northern Ireland
Heart Nurses for heart patients, their
families and carers
- worked in partnership to tackle
health inequalities through Hearty
Lives Cookstown - we’ve committed over £225,000 to
reduce deaths and hospital admissions from coronary heart
disease within the Cookstown area
- funded important
education and teaching for healthcare professionals and
the public
- campaigned with and on behalf of heart
patients
- provided life-saving equipment - we committed
£16,500 towards 32 defibrillators
- provided emergency life saving
(ELS) skills training through our Heartstart programme - we have trained over
1,000 teachers who have in turn trained over 20,000 children
- committed over £1,000,000 to help keep local
hearts beating
- successfully closed our two local appeals
which funded a BHF Heart Nurse in the North West area and a
Community Resuscitation Development Officer in
Magherafelt
We couldn’t do it without your help. There are lots of
