The Big Impact of Small, Regular Donations

At Take Heart, we believe every donation makes a difference — no matter the size. Many people think that only large, one-off donations can make an impact, but in reality, regular small donations provide the steady support that helps us continue our work for heart patients and their families across Leeds and Yorkshire.

Why Regular Giving Matters

When you set up a regular donation, you give us the ability to plan ahead. Knowing that we can rely on a steady income means we can confidently commit to projects that improve comfort and facilities for patients, relatives, and staff in the Yorkshire Heart Centre at Leeds General Infirmary, St James’s Hospital, and other associated units.

Even a few pounds each month quickly adds up when combined with the support of others. Think of it as being part of a community of kindness — together, those small amounts create something truly powerful.

Run Entirely by Volunteers

Take Heart is unique. We are a small but professional charity, run entirely by volunteers. We have no paid staff — every hour of work is given freely by people who care deeply about supporting heart patients and the hospitals that treat them.

This means your donations go exactly where you want them to go — towards making a real difference in people’s lives.

Minimal Overheads, Maximum Impact

Our administration costs are kept to an absolute minimum — less than 1% of our income. That’s incredibly rare in the charity sector. In practice, it means that over 99p of every £1 donated is used directly for the benefit of patients and their families.

So, when you give regularly to Take Heart, you can be confident your generosity is not being lost to unnecessary overheads. Instead, it’s funding tangible improvements — from refurbishing relatives’ rooms and waiting areas, to providing equipment and comforts that go beyond what the NHS can provide.

Your Support Matters

By setting up a regular monthly gift, you’ll become part of the heartbeat of Take Heart. Your kindness helps ensure that heart patients and their families receive the best possible support at some of the most difficult times in their lives.

Every pound counts, and every month matters.
