How can your business help?

Together, we hope to deliver mutually beneficial results with a lasting legacy.

We aim to foster mutually-beneficial commercial partnerships and sponsorship opportunities.

For example, you could:

  • Sponsor a project. Project sponsorship is a unique and affordable way for you to make a difference to the lives of young people and adults born with a heart condition. From web management to volunteer training workshops, we have a number of projects for you to choose from and volunteers from your company could help with any of them
  • Sponsor an event. This is a great way to support us whilst gaining fantastic brand awareness for your company. The events also provide a fabulous platform for social networking and fun.

Tailored to your business goals and your corporate social responsibility needs, from our very first conversation, we create the right partnership for you.

Together, we don’t just help to make life easier for CHD patients, but we also provide unique, special and genuinely worthwhile opportunities for your business.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.

Straight to the heart of the matter.

There is nobody else doing what we do in the UK. But each year it costs us over £250,000 to run our services.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support. Together we will make this a year to remember.

In 2017, we were delighted to receive a donation of £6,000 from Suffolk Freemasons. The Freemasons were interested to hear about the work we do to support congenital heart patients and in particular about grant-funded Coaguchek machines. The £6,000 they donated will help to give grants to patients who need to check their INR levels at home, for a coaguchek machine from Roche Diagnostics.

Want to make a big impact?

Does your company offer products or services that would interest congenital heart patients and medical professionals? Would the opportunity to speak to patients, garner their thoughts, generate leads and make sells help you achieve your business objectives? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

We offer exhibition spaces for our Annual Conference and other events.

Contact us to discuss your details in more depth.

What difference could your employees’ pennies make?

Pennies from Heaven is a simple idea that is making a big difference to CHD patients. In fact, to date, Pennies from Heaven has raised over £4 million for over 250 charities.

With Pennies from Heaven, employees donate the pennies from their payslip or company pension (if they want to!). So, if they earn £850.34, then they keep the £850 and donate the 34p to charity.

All your employees can join in because donations are never more than 99p a month. Even better, the taxman will add 25% at no cost to the donor or employer via gift aid.

This form of payroll giving (also known as ‘give as you earn’ or workplace giving) is a valuable, long-term source of income that will help us to budget and plan more effectively.

Imagine the difference £1 million would make to congenital heart patients finding life difficult.
