We are a charity that helps newborns, children and adults diagnosed with congenital and cardiovascular diseases primarily by supporting the work of the Wessex Cardiac Unit based at Southampton General Hospital. This is achieved by providing specialised equipment, services and facilities to help patients and their relatives through their cardiac journey. Heartbeat House provides a “Home from Home” to families of those who are patients on any of the cardiac wards, whether it’s intensive care, high dependency, the paediatric ward or in recovery.
Our charity raises funds to contribute to the prevention, rehabilitation and cure of heart diseases. We also fundraise to provide funding and facilities to train and educate healthcare professionals in the Cardiac Centre.
