Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m Chris Richards, founder of Between Breath and Beat Trust (BBBT), charity number 1216881. I was born with a life-threatening heart condition and spent my first months in hospital, facing procedures that no child should have to endure.

Today, I am awaiting a heart transplant. Through this journey, I’ve seen how isolating it can be—not just for patients, but for their families. Hospital stays are long, uncertain, and emotionally exhausting. Simple comforts and practical support can make a world of difference.

That’s why I created BBBT. We provide emotional support, wellbeing hampers, children’s activity packs, and assistance to keep families close. Every donation helps someone feel less alone, more supported, and gives hope during one of the toughest times of their lives.

Please help us make a difference. Every pound you give brings comfort, hope, and care to those who need it most. Because every heartbeat matters—and every breath counts.
