We are the single biggest independent funder of cardiovascular research in the UK – from new discoveries about how the heart develops in the womb, to developing the treatments that could mend broken hearts in the future.

Thanks to the generous donations of our supporters, we invested more than £88 million in research in 2011. We fund scientists at more than 50 different research centres in the UK - from Bristol to Belfast, Cardiff to Cambridge, and Edinburgh to Essex.

We are funding hundreds of researchers on around 1,200 projects. All aim to find new, better treatments for people with heart and circulatory disease, or develop new ways to better prevent or diagnose it.
