Our Mission
Every five minutes, someone in the UK loses someone they love to heart and lung disease. The facts are devastating – but the future doesn’t have to be

Helping NHS teams go further
Based at the UK’s largest centre for heart and lung care, we help specialist clinicians, academics and researchers do more for their patients. From funding new equipment to backing promising research, your support gives them the tools they need to prevent, diagnose and treat heart and lung conditions more effectively
Supporting research that saves lives
We fund work that brings together some of the world’s leading experts in medicine and research. With your help, they’re finding answers faster, and bringing breakthrough treatments to the people who need them most.
What has your support made possible?
Some of the recent activities include:
- A £400,000 fund that’s backing innovative early-stage research projects
- Six new haemodialysis machines for Harefield Hospital
- A new type of gamma camera at Royal Brompton Hospital
- The world’s first maternal health clinic for cystic fibrosis
- 53 bursaries to support NHS staff training and development
- Vital research into long-term lung transplant rejection and how to treat it
- Advanced genetic research and diagnostic tools.
With you, we can change the future
We’re here to transform the lives of heart and lung patients everywhere – not just today, but for generations to come. Your support will help us make that happen.
