CHUF's mission is to make life better for children and young people who are born with or who develop heart conditions by providing lifelong support to them and their families. CHUF supports children and families who receive treatment at the Children’s Heart Unit based at the Freeman Hospital and the many other hospitals providing care for cardiac patients throughout the North of England.

We experienced the generosity and support of CHUF first hand whilst we spent time at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle with our little boy Charlie, whilst he waited for his heart transplant.  They made our first Christmas as a family memorable and special.  They do amazing work and give so much to the children and families who spend time in hospital.
