Volunteer
If you’re someone with a kind heart and a desire to help, we invite you to join our volunteer team.

Whether it’s helping with events, supporting members at meetings, or spreading awareness, every volunteer plays a vital role in fulfilling our mission.

Your support helps us make a difference in the lives of heart patients and their families. Donations, no matter the size, go directly to our programs and community efforts. You can donate once, become a monthly supporter, or even sponsor a specific event or project. Together, we can create a lasting impact on heart health in our community.

Emergency Tips
In an emergency:
- Dial 999 immediately.
- Stay with the patient.
- Check for a pulse and if necessary Start CPR.
- If you are alone with the patient, call someone nearby, give them the patient’s post code and ask them to locate the nearest defibrillator on DEFIB FINDER UK, collect it and bring it immediately to the patient’s address.
General advice
Heart attacks can affect anyone of any age so keeping an emergency contact number and the location off the nearest defibrillator could be life-saving.
We also suggest that all elderly people, especially those living alone, keep the contact number of a relative or friend under a magnet on the fridge door and clearly visible to emergency teams.
