Caring for the family of heart heroes is hugely important to CHSF, which is why the charity invests significant time, resource and funds into the Christmas Party every year.

The feedback we get is that CHD patients, parents and siblings all benefit a great deal from coming together to celebrate the upcoming festive period at our annual party, knowing that people with shared experiences are in the room.

We know that great friendships and bonds are formed when heart families like you get together, and it’s a chance to let your hair down in a supportive environment. So please come along – we’re looking forward to seeing you there!
