How we deliver these aims

The British Heart Foundation raises money to help fund research into heart and circulatory disease. We fund over £100 million of research each year into these diseases and the things that cause them. We also develop evidence based policy to work with an influence decision makers to ensure the political and regulatory climate is favourable for our research and patients with heart and circulatory conditions across the UK.
