Heart Research UK

You CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Charity Name: Heart Research UK

Since 1967 Heart Research UK has led the way in funding cutting-edge research into heart disease – the UK’s biggest killer.
Heart disease can strike anyone; some are born with it, others develop it later in life. In fact, 700 people in the UK suffer a heart attack every day – that’s one every two minutes.
We have funded many groundbreaking projects and paid for six of the eight first successful UK heart transplants. Many things that we now take for granted, such as heart valves, angioplasty and more recently, artificial heart pumps, would not have been developed when they were, without our help.
We continue to fund innovative research all over the UK including a unique Artificial Heart Muscle project aimed at developing a man-made device to help patients with heart failure. Our funding of such pioneering projects highlights the importance of research and development in the battle to beat heart disease.
What we would prefer, is for there to be no heart problems in the first place so we also give grants to community based projects that encourage people to make the right lifestyle choices for a healthier heart.

What our charity partners say

We’re so pleased to be working with Giveacar, to provide an easy and efficient way for everyone who’s passionate about mental health to support Mind. Over the years we’ve received over £29,000 from generous people who have chosen to donate the proceeds from their car to Mind. This amount of money could help Mind keep Side by Side open for 5 and a half weeks. Side by Side is Mind’s online community where anyone can join, talk and find support. 24/7. Right now, mental health support is needed more than ever. We’re so grateful to Giveacar and their customers for […]

We have had several cars donated to us through this scheme and it provides us with an additional way to riase very much needed funds to continue improving the lives of animals in The Gambia.

So far, we have received an amazing £37,947.11 through Giveacar donations. Today, 771 million people don’t have clean water close to home and 1.7 billion people don’t have access to a proper toilet. Just £15 can help provide one person with safe water. Help us reach everyone everywhere with safe water, clean toilets and good hygiene by 2030. Thank you!
