Thank you for choosing to support Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke (NICHS) during our 80th anniversary year.

Our charity was founded on 14th June 1946 with a simple belief that people deserved better health, better care and better chances in life. Chest, heart and stroke conditions remain the leading causes of death and disability in Northern Ireland which is why our work is as important today as it has ever been.

Our vision is everyone in Northern Ireland living a longer, healthier life free from chest, heart and stroke illnesses. We work with people of all ages across the country, delivering vital care and prevention services, supporting ground breaking research and campaigning for change.

Today, approximately 600,000 people in Northern Ireland are living with a chest, heart or stroke condition and we are committed to supporting them.

With almost 90% of our income coming exclusively from public donations, we need your help to carry on helping thousands of local people and their families rebuild their lives after a chest, heart or stroke diagnosis, as well as continue with our crucial prevention efforts.

Join us in marking 80 years of supporting local people by taking part in our special anniversary fundraising appeal. Take on an 80 challenge, host a tea party, or plant a memory tree.

However you choose to get involved, you will be helping to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of so many. Thank you.
