Donating to our Adult CF Centre

Our Heartlands Centre is considered to be one of the best in the United Kingdom.

It was opened by the Duke of Kent in 2002 after we had spent 4 years raising the £2.8 million required by our hospital trust. Many individuals, including patients and relatives, charitable trusts local and national businesses gave their time and money generously.

The centre has enormously benefited the quality of care, bringing our patients and professional multi disciplinary team together under one roof as well as keeping our patients safe from infection.

Since our centre opened the appeal has continued to provide benefit in the form of individual room laptops, furniture and other necessary equipment. We have staffed the ‘exercise start-up programme', the holistic therapy room and paid the trustees secretary.

We have funded a CF research doctor in training. It has supported additional training for specialist CF nurses, physiotherapist, dieticians and other staff. None of this could have been provided by our hard pressed NHS, as other centres nationwide have also found.

The Appeal, looked after by our Trustees, has enabled us to maintain a standard of excellence but at some cost. If we are to continue to support our centre at the present level we need to increase our income raising £25 to 50,000 per annum.
