2 HEART SUPPORT GROUPS What are they? 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 than ever before, and that combined with an ageing population means more people are now living with heart disease and need our help. Set up by patients and carers, our affiliated Heart s provide support and friendship to anyone who has been affected by the emotional and physical strain of having a heart condition. Having been through it themselves they know what it takes to get that fighting spirit back. Based on the recommendations of Heart s, the British Heart Foundation has developed this directory. It s been created to help you find and connect with your nearest group and ensure more and more people are getting the support they need. With nearly 300 affiliated groups it can be difficult to find one that s right for you. That s why we ve separated the groups based on their locations and provided as much information about them as we can. This includes their contact details, the activities they do, when and where they meet as well as their website if they have one. If you d like general information about Heart s, visit our website. Alternatively you can heartsupportgroups@bhf.org.uk or call our Heart Helpline on (open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, similar cost to 01 or 02 numbers). 2 Heart s London

From babies born with life threatening heart problems, to the many mums, dads and grandparents who survive a heart attack and endure the daily battles of heart failure.
