Hello

How are you? I hope that you’re keeping well.

Today, as many as 470,000 people in Northern Ireland are living with a chest, heart or stroke illness.

That’s up to 1 in 3 of us.

Most of us will know someone affected, or be impacted ourselves. That’s why the services and treatments available should matter to all of us, as we never know when we or someone close to us may need them. It’s also why we fund research and campaign for change, to improve outcomes for everyone.
 

We Research

We awarded £401,105 in 2024/25 to new ground-breaking research taking place right here in Northern Ireland.

These studies are exploring questions such as:

  • Can a computer game help stroke survivors regain arm movement?
  • What improves survival after cardiac arrest outside hospital?
  • Can we develop a lateral flow test to detect heart failure?

All of our research is funded by public donations. Thank you for helping make this possible.

We Campaign

We also campaign for change, making sure the experiences of people affected are heard by those in power.

This includes pushing for:

  • The “right to rehab” for all conditions
  • Tobacco and Vaping laws and a Clean Air Strategy
  • Action on waiting lists and the health trust postcode lottery
 

Almost 90% of our income comes from public donations and we, along with the people we support, are so grateful for your generosity. We could not be here if it wasn’t for your help.

Best Wishes,

Team NICHS
