We would love to here from you. Click here to find out how to get in touch.

The Heart Circle's main priority is to provide support to families. Some of the ways we offer this support need funding, including the running of of a caravan that offers subsidised breaks for families.

We also try to provide funding to the hospitals in the region for equipment that would not normally be available on the NHS, but makes a real difference to children.

A great example of this is the Telemedicine suite based in Bristol. To offer these things we need to raise funds, find out how you can support the Heart Circle. The Heart Circle is run entirely by volunteers.

You can also raise funds for us as you shop online. Websites supporting us include Marks & Spencer, Amazon and John Lewis. Click here to find out more.

Message Board - chat online with other parents

The Heart Circle does not offer a "chat room" itself, but there is a very good one on the Heartline website. Heartline is a fellow affiliate charity of the Children's Heart Federation.

The Heart Circle takes no responsibility for any of the content of the board.

Each year the Heart Circle has a number of runners in the London Marathon, either using one of our guaranteed places or a place that they have in their own right.

We still have places left for 2007, so why not get in touch. Visit our Marathon page for more details.
