Luxury jewellery specialist Berry’s Jewellers have made Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) their charity of the year for 2025.
The family-owned company has stores in Leeds, York, Windsor, Nottingham and Newcastle, and staff are set to take on fundraising initiatives throughout the year for CHSF.
CHSF works to empower patients of all ages in their journey with congenital heart disease (CHD) – as babies, children, teenagers and throughout adulthood, and provides a holistic family support service at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit (LCHU).
Babies born with heart disease from Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North Lincolnshire and the Humber are often urgently treated at the LCHU in the first months, weeks or even days of their lives.
CHSF family support includes wellbeing, practical and financial assistance for families, and donations also provide vital resources and services including parent accommodation, life-saving medical equipment and NHS staffing.

Simon Oxby, Head of Operations at Berry’s Jewellers said:
“Our partnership with CHSF will be a great way for colleagues to get together and have some fun, whilst also raising awareness and donations for CHSF. The money raised will help them to support babies, children, teenagers and their families in so many ways. As a family business, supporting the CHSF is very close to our hearts.”
Andy McNally, CHSF Head of Marketing said:
“We are over the moon that such a prestigious business has chosen CHSF as their charity of the year for 2025.
“Our goals are only possible thanks to special relationships with corporate partners like Berry’s Jewellers, whose donations will help to fund our family support services, vital hospital equipment and clinical NHS roles.
“Around 1 in 125 babies are born with heart disease in the UK, and we are fully committed to supporting the world-class unit in Leeds and the regional network’s supporting clinics.
“It can be incredibly challenging for families to come to terms with a diagnosis of CHD in patients so young, and CHSF exists to provide the physical and mental resources everyone affected needs for the journey ahead.”
If you or your business are interested in supporting CHSF this year, we’d love to hear from you. Email corporate@chsf.org.uk or call 0113 831 4810 to find out more and chat to our Corporate Team. Thank you.
