Our Mission
After 36 years as a charity run completely on a volunarty basis, we continue to raise funds exclusively for the Yorkshire Heart Centre at Leeds General Infirmary, St James's hospital and its units within The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
To date we have raised in excess of six million pounds which has been used to provide comfort and enhance the surroundings for patients who visit the centre every year
PROJECTS
Our Aim
We endeavour to ensure that patients and their families enjoy the very best of comfort within the Yorkshire Heart Centre at what can be a very stressful time.
ROOFTOP GARDENS
Our latest project is to fully renovate the rooftop gardens that are available for heart patients and their visitors to sit and relax
RELATIVES’ SUITES
Take Heart provide Suites which are available, free of charge to relatives of heart ward patients, who normally live outside Leeds. This enables them to be nearer to their loved ones at a stressful time. The rooms are lovely and have en-suite and kitchen facilities. All overlook Millennium Square.
FREE BEDSIDE TV, PHONE CALLS AND INTERNET
In an attempt to take away another worry from heart patients and relatives, Take Heart have a contract with the company which supplies the bedside television sets. We pay for patient’s use of the TV which covers more than 80 channels plus radio and we also cover the cost of all outgoingtelephone calls to UK landlines from the bedside. In addition to this, we also pay for the internet service built in to the new sets. The pictures above show our chairman at the contract signing with Hospedia and the new style sets which have been installed throughout the hospital.
