Children’s Heart Surgery Fund provides vital funding and resources to support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit in providing life-saving medical equipment, parent accommodation for families and essential ward resources. At CHSF they recognise that caring for people with congenital heart disease involves so much more than just treating the heart itself, which is why they care for the heart, mind, family and future.
