Why your gifts in Wills are important

Far too many of us have lost loved ones to heart and circulatory diseases – the world’s biggest killers. Your gift to British Heart Foundation (BHF) help fund groundbreaking research, CPR training, and vital support services to keep hearts beating across the UK. 

Since 1961, our supporters have enabled scientific breakthroughs like pacemakers, portable defibrillators, and lifesaving statins. With your support, our future ambitions are even bolder. 

Every 3 minutes, someone in the UK dies from a heart or circulatory disease, often without a chance to say goodbye. The research we fund offers hope and answers. 

Your gift to British Heart Foundation can help save lives. 

It was dawning on me how much I nearly lost when I had a heart attack. But I am here. The science behind it all improves all the time, and as the years go on, things will become better.
