Big Hearted Friday is back!
Since last February’s Big Hearted Fundraising, up to 500 families in the UK will have received a diagnosis of a single ventricle heart condition.
Little Hearts Matter continues to see a growing demand for its support services and as a self-funded charity we need your help to ensure that we are here when needed most in 2024.
What: Big Hearted Friday.
When: Friday 9th February 2024.
Where: At home, at nursery or playgroup, in school, at work or in any community group.
Who: You, your little one and your family’s army of supporters.
Why: To raise awareness of what it means to live with half a heart, allow others to show their support and help empower your loved one living with a single ventricle heart.
How: Request your fundraising pack by emailing us here.
Throughout 2023, LHM has welcomed hundreds new families to receive its specialised support and bring people together. The first ever comic was created for young members aged 7-11, to develop their understanding of their condition, and the Youth Hub app was launched to provide teenagers with a safe space to find community.
