Dechox

This May, our supporters are taking on Dechox – the ultimate feel‑good challenge – by giving up chocolate for an entire month and fundraising to help power lifesaving research.

Whether they’re casual choc‑lovers or full‑blown chocoholics, going without is no small feat — and that’s exactly why it’s making such a powerful difference.

Together, we’re going hands‑off chocolate this May and making a real impact.

As a thank you for fundraising for BHF, we'll support you throughout your challenge. You'll get:

A free BHF totebag if you raise £150!
A free BHF bespoke medal if you raise the fundraising target of £200!
A Challenge Pack posted to you to support you in your Dechox journey.
Support along the way from our BHF Dechox team and to join our Dechox Facebook Group community.
To kick-start a new healthy habit!

We have a wealth of fundraising resources for you. You can:
