British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation, or BHF, is a UK charity dedicated to fighting heart and circulatory diseases. They're the biggest funder of research in this area across Europe, working to find cures and treatments that give people more time with loved ones. But their work goes beyond research. They also influence public policy and raise awareness to help individuals make healthier choices. In short, the BHF fights heart disease on two fronts: by funding research for better treatments and by empowering people to take charge of their heart health.
