British Heart Foundation
We are the biggest funder of heart research in the UK
The British Heart Foundation is the UK’s number one heart charity.
Coronary heart disease is the UK’s single biggest killer but we are leading the fight against it. Our pioneering research has helped to transform the lives of people living with heart and circulatory conditions.
Our work has been central to the discoveries of vital treatments that are helping to change the face of the UK’s fight against heart disease.
A vision for a better future
Our vision is a world where people don't die prematurely from heart disease.
We'll continue the fight through our pioneering heart research, vital prevention activity and ensuring quality care and support for everyone living with heart disease.
Dedicated to the fight against heart disease
Our task is to keep hearts beating and we focus our work on our groundbreaking research.
We are the UK's number one heart charity and through 50 years of funding cutting edge research we have already made a big difference to people's lives.
But the landscape of heart disease is changing. More people survive a heart attack or cardiac arrest than ever before, and that means more people are now living with heart disease and need our help.
Our scientists are fighting for every heartbeat
For babies born with heart defects to the millions of adults affected by heart disease, our scientists are carrying the fight for every heartbeat into the future.
We have already made heart research history. And with the help of our researchers' tireless work, we will uncover the mysteries that could help us regenerate hearts, form new arteries and muscle, and ultimately stop heart disease in its tracks.

Our research is powered by your support. Every pound raised, every minute of your time and every donation to our shops will help make a massive difference to people’s lives.
