The Children’s Heart Association was registered as a charity on the 4th September 1974 meaning this is our 40th year as a charity.  Originally called The Association for Children with Heart Disorders (TACHD) we changed our name in October 2005 to become the Children’s Heart Association.

In that time, our aims of supporting families who are affected by congenital heart disorders; to push for improvements to facilities as heart units; to help push standards of care as new techniques are developed; and to raise funds to purchase specialised equipment haven’t changed.

As this is our 40th year we’re organising 40 events throughout the year to celebrate.  Keep an eye on our website, our events page and with your local branch for further announcements.
