We estimate that in the UK more than half of us will get a heart or circulatory condition in our lifetime.
Setting up a monthly Direct Debit is easy and quick. With your dedicated monthly support, we can plan for the future. It empowers us to make informed decisions on how we spend the money and maximises our impact so that we can touch even more lives.
Help us fund lifesaving research
Your support brings BHF-funded researchers closer to:
- understanding the genetic causes of heart muscle diseases
- finding new ways to treat and even cure inherited cardiomyopathies
- stopping hearts like Macy’s from failing.
Thank you for supporting us ❤️
- This is a required field.
How your monthly donations impact our work
Your regular donations help us plan for the future, empowering us to create lifesaving products and services and decide which groundbreaking research to fund next.
Here’s some of what we've accomplished so far and what we can achieve in the future, thanks to your generous monthly donations:
RevivR online CPR training
We’re continually developing products to help save more lives. RevivR, our interactive CPR training tool, makes it easy for anyone to learn CPR in just 15 minutes.
Heart Helpline
Our cardiac nurses handle an average of 17,000 calls per year through the Heart Helpline. They also respond to emails and chats, supporting thousands of people affected by heart and circulatory conditions.
Revolutionary research
BHF-funded scientists are working on artificial intelligence projects to improve diagnoses, providing faster, more accurate care and improving patient outcomes.
Boost your donation with Gift Aid
When you donate, you’ll be asked if you’d like to add Gift Aid. Doing so is free for you, but means we’ll receive an extra 25p for every £1 donated.
If you’re a UK taxpayer and are donating with your personal money, you can add Gift Aid.
With this extra money, you’ll be helping us save more people, keeping families together for longer.
How we use your donation
Each year we aim to ensure that at least 70p of every £1 donated is available to spend on our lifesaving work. We use the rest for essential costs that help us raise more funds. This means that we can keep doing our important work and make an even bigger difference to people living with heart and circulatory diseases and their loved ones.
We spend donations on:
- funding pioneering medical research into heart and circulatory diseases
- developing products like RevivR – our fast, free and easy-to-use online CPR training course
- creating accessible health information and support content.
Our mission
At British Heart Foundation, we're tirelessly working towards our vision of a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases.
Our mission is to raise money to fund research that saves and improves lives, and support people affected by these conditions.
Your donations help us achieve this.
