Welcome to the Young at Heart Website
Young at Heart is a registered charity set up in 1982 to offer help and support to families of babies and children diagnosed with heart defects. All these children and their families have spent many weeks/months in hospital undergoing major heart surgery. Some children have had numerous operations throughout their short lives. Sadly, some do not survive and for others their only hope is a heart transplant.
YaH
provides a support line and regular ward visits for parents during
their time in hospital with their sick child and it works closely
with the Heart Unit at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Its aim
is to bring the families together at social events, where they can
meet with other families, share experiences and the children make
new friends. The children love the social events, they have been
through a lot and enjoy being with other children who also have
`special hearts’.
The
website offers a wide variety of information which includes our
latest news and events, family support advice, medical information
sheets, details of how money is raised and donated. There is also
the opportunity to become a member or a Trustee - for free - using
the online forms. If you require any further information or have a
question or comment regarding any aspect of Young at Heart then
please get in touch.
