The British Heart Foundation

We fund over £100 million of lifesaving research into heart and circulatory diseases each year. We support you when you need us most. And we campaign for a healthier world.

Far too many of us have felt the pain of losing someone we love to cardiovascular disease, the world’s biggest killer. With your support, British Heart Foundation (BHF) powers groundbreaking research to save and improve lives.

Since 1961, you’ve helped us fund scientific breakthroughs that are keeping more families together today. From pacemaker technology and portable defibrillators to proving that statins can help save lives. With your support, our ambitions for the years to come are even bolder.

Every 3 minutes someone loses their life to cardiovascular disease in the UK. We’re dedicated to powering advances in cardiovascular science and healthcare to bring us closer to the day where everyone has a healthier heart for longer. But we cannot do it without your support. Together, the next breakthroughs in preventing, diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease are in reach.
