Closing the gap

Health inequalities disproportionately affect people of South Asian heritage, who face approximately a 50% higher risk of coronary heart disease compared to the wider population. BHF is committed to tackling this critical issue head-on.

Founder and National Chair: Amina Hussain

My vision is to bring business leaders together on a national level, to help raise a significant sum, to help support heart health research and awareness amongst the South Asian Community. I hope you will join me in supporting this incredibly worthwhile cause.
