My Story

Pat here. Please support our Charity Sky Dive and Debbie's Camino trial fundraiser for this cause that is so close to my own heart 

Heart Children is the national organisation providing support to people born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) and their families in Ireland. We work to help people with CHD - of all ages - to stay well, live confidently and enjoy life to its fullest.

How we help our members.

Respite Funding
Play Therapy
Psychology Support
Peer Support
INR Home Testing
Social Events
Advocacy

Now thirty years in operation, the organisation began as a parent support group and providing ‘support’ remains our core mission. The medical care of people with CHD happens in hospital, but the extended care of the child and their family requires differing levels of emotional and psychological support. Heart Children is focused on responding to this need to shape a range of professional support services.

We receive no government funding and rely solely on our members, corporates sponsorship and fundraising to provide our services. At present we have two full time staff, CEO Sheila Campbell and Fundraising Executive, Niamh Kearney. We are always looking for people to help at events and to get involved in fundraising.

If you would like to support the work of Heart Children or are a Corporate looking to partner with a worthy charity, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch by emailing [email protected]
