What is it all about?

The Children's Heart Surgery Fund are a supportive charity, who help children and adults that are born with congenital heart disease, plus their families too. They offer support for all involved whenever they are in need of it. By donating, you will be able to help them fund for more ground- breaking new equipment, resources, training and research facilities. They want to aim to make sure that all these children and adults have the best support available for them during their stay at hospital, working alongside the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit at the Leeds General Infirmary in Yorkshire.

Thanks to the amazing efforts by the fundraisers, and generous support from the public, they have already been able to provide a grant of over £6 million to the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, the patients, and also to their families!

A great motto they live by is caring for the heart, the mind, the family and also the future. I think this is amazing as a holistic approach because the body as a whole needs support, physically, mentally, emotionally and socially...
