What is a BHF Business Board?

Based across the UK, our boards are made up of groups of business leaders who fundraise for BHF’s lifesaving work.

Our business board members support BHF in different ways. These can include:

 

  • raising significant funds for BHF-funded research through events and activities
  • acting as BHF ambassadors to raise awareness of our work and impact
  • inspiring others in the business community, connecting key people to BHF
  • sharing stories of our work across the media channels, including social media. 

Why should you set up a business board?

By joining a business board, you will have the opportunity to make a lasting impact in your community. It’s a chance to use your passion, influence and connections to help us advance treatments that could keep more families together for longer.
