Formed in the UK in 1973 and registered as a charity in 1974, the Children's Heart Association (formerly The Association for Children with Heart Disorders)
is a support group run by families and friends of cardiac children for families with, or who have had, children with heart disorders.
The Children's Heart Association is a charity based in the North West of England. We are members of the Children's Heart Federation (www.childrens-heart-fed.org.uk) and we have a sister charity, the Scottish Association for Children with Heart Disorders (www.youngheart.info), which has branches throughout Scotland. You may also find the Cardiac Youth Forum Hearts4Teens (www.hearts4teens.org.uk) website useful, it answers those questions that young people with heart problems might have. |
Please use the menu to navigate the site. See how we try to help families with heart children in the section ''How do we help you?''.
