The British Heart Foundation’s main focus is to fund cardiovascular research, aiming to spend around £100 million a year funding scientists around the UK.
They are currently funding over 1000 research projects.

Since 2008 the British Heart Foundation has been investing in Centres of Research Excellence.
The six current centres bring together scientists from a number of disciplines to work on research projects to beat heart and circulatory disease.

The current Centres of Research are:
Imperial College London
King’s College London
University of Cambridge
University of Edinburgh
University of Glasgow
University of Oxford
In 2013 the BHF committed to funding three multi-institution Centres of Regenerative Medicine, investing £7.5 million over four years to fund scientists looking for new treatments for heart failure.

Other activities include:
Information – BHF will provide information to help people reduce their own heart health risk.

Campaigning – BHF will get government to establish policies that minimise the risk of developing heart and circulatory disease
Support – offering advice to those with heart conditions via their website, information booklets or heart helpline.

Life saving skills – the BHF currently offers free CPR kits to schools and is working with the Department of Health to distribute defibrillators throughout England.

In 2015 The British Heart Foundation had an income of just over £133m.
In 2015 the BHF spent £102.5 million on funding cardiovascular research and £30.8 million on prevention, survival and support activities.
