Since we were founded, our research has helped to reduce deaths from heart and circulatory diseases by more than half. But we cannot stop now.
By 2030, we want to see advances across the spectrum of heart and circulatory diseases; we want to prevent these conditions from developing and we want those with existing conditions to have better, longer lives.
What we're going to do
This video provides an overview of our strategy to 2030 and outlines what we’re going to do between now and then to get us closer to the changes we want to see and our vision.
We fund research to save and improve lives
As the largest independent funder of research into heart and circulatory diseases in the UK, we will focus our efforts on accelerating discovery and turning discoveries into lifesaving medical advances.
More on our research ambitions
We work with patients and the public for better health and care
As the nation’s heart charity, we advocate for and with people affected by heart and circulatory diseases. We develop innovative ways of meeting their needs by listening carefully, working together and thinking big.

We grow support and income
If we do not invest more in lifesaving research and innovation now, the burden of heart and circulatory diseases will only grow. We need to raise more money to save more lives, and we want everyone to join us in helping us do so.
We strive for excellence
We are a leading organisation with a reputation hard-earned by the dedication of our people. People who are brave, informed, compassionate and driven. By living our values, we will make sure we never take this reputation for granted.
