Heart Research Wales is a charity committed to supporting heart health and research in the Welsh community, and at the heart of the charity’s ethos is that… Every penny raised in Wales stays in Wales Founded in 1979 by a team of specialist heart doctors at the University Hospital Wales, we believe that charity begins at home, and for us, this means we focus on supporting communities throughout Wales through research into cardiovascular diseases and assisting with the training of NHS healthcare professionals treating patients with diseases of the heart, lungs and vascular system in Wales. Heart Research Wales was previously known as Heart Research Fund for Wales.
