Charity
The Children's Heartbeat Trust provides practical and emotional support to parents and families of children with heart disease in Northern Ireland. Heart disease is now the most common problem at birth in Northern Ireland. Over 200 children a year are born with heart disease. One third of these children will require further investigation and/ or surgery. The Children’s Heartbeat Trust works closely with the Clark Clinic at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children to help fund top quality medical equipment and initiatives, to ensure that children with heart disease in Northern Ireland receive the best care and treatment possible. The Children’s Heartbeat Trust is a local charity, funded solely from public donations. We provide support in a number of ways including; - Financial support for Clark Clinic - Family Support Groups throughout Northern Ireland - Parent accommodation at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children - Parent support and information networks - Research into heart disease in children Your support will help change the lives of children with heart disease in Northern Ireland.

Children's MRI Scanner Appeal
We need your help to raise £2,000,000 for a dedicated children's MRI Scanner at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children (RBHSC)
The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children is the only children's hospital in the UK not to have an MRI Scanner. This means that children in Northern Ireland may have to undergo treatments involving radiation or invasive procedures instead of benefitting from a safe and repeatable MRI scan.
Please donate and help us provide the safest and best possible treatment for sick children in Northern Ireland.
The Children's MRI Scanner Appeal is being ran in partnership by four local children's charities; Helping Hand, Carrickmannon MRI Scanner Children's Appeal, Northern Ireland Children's Cancer Unit Fund and the Children's Heartbeat Trust.
