Our charity supports Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals by buying equipment, funding vital research and improving the lives of patients with heart and lung conditions. Although our hospitals receive NHS funding and form an NHS Trust in their own right, they remain pioneers and world-class centres for the diagnosis, treatment and care of heart and lung patients as a result of the extra funding that the Charity can provide for carefully selected projects. We help to make our hospitals not just ordinary, but extraordinary.
