Who we are
We're
the nation's heart charity. Our vision is a world where people
don't die prematurely from heart disease.
We'll achieve this through pioneering research, vital prevention
activity and ensuring quality care and support for everyone living
with heart disease.
Where did we start?
We were founded in 1961 by a group of medical professionals
wanting to fund extra research into the causes, diagnosis,
treatment and prevention of heart and circulatory disease. Find out
what has happened since in our
history.
How are we structured?
As a UK charity we are governed by a board of trustees who
volunteer their time to help direct our work. They oversee our
Directors who in turn manage the staff across the whole
organisation.
From Directors and Trustees to employees
and volunteers based across the
UK, there are many people helping us beat heart disease...
