A message from Sharon Milner, CHSF CEO
“At Children’s Hearts Surgery Fund, we believe that championing diversity and fostering inclusion does more than just make us a better organisation – they contribute to a world where people are empowered, feel valued, and heard.”
“Diversity, equality, and inclusion are at the core of who we are as a charity. These values are central to CHSF’s mission and impact.”
“Heart disease doesn’t discriminate. 1 in 100 babies are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) in the UK. CHSF are proud to support the thousands of babies, children and adults living with CHD in our region, for life.”
“As part of our ongoing commitment towards maintaining and developing an environment that is welcoming to people from all backgrounds and abilities, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund have recently embarked on a journey with the National Centre for Diversity that will lead us to achieving the Investors in Diversity for Small Charities Award.”
