A video about our work in Scotland

Heart and circulatory disease is Scotland’s biggest killer and sadly claims almost 17,000 family members every year – that’s around a third of all deaths. Your support is vital in helping us change this.

Fighting heart disease in Scotland

Thanks to you, in the past year we’ve raised over £5.6 million from all of our activities, including volunteering, fundraising, shops and legacies. It’s vital that you continue support our life-saving work. Find out what we're up to near you.

We are fighting heart disease by:

  • funding the largest, independent programme of Heart Health research in Scotland. We have invested £38 million in this field and last year alone we invested over £9m
  • providing BHF Scotland Heart Nurses to care for heart patients and to support their families and carers
  • funding important education and teaching health professionals and the public
  • campaigning with and on behalf of heart patients
  • providing life-saving medical equipment - last year we funded £64,000
