In 2020, the Family Support service started helping patients and families from across the region with bespoke wellbeing, financial and practical support and this area of our work has grown from strength to strength supporting over 500 beneficiaries each year. Our charity is a crucial partner for the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, a specialist cardiac centre for all of Yorkshire, the Humber, North and North East Lincolnshire, and North Derbyshire (a population of over 5.7 million).
