We fight for families affected by heart disease and stroke. 

We work with stroke and heart patients and their loved ones to make sure their voices are heard.

As the national charity for the prevention of heart disease and stroke in Ireland, our work involves influencing Government policy for

• Improved patient care and the prevention of premature death from heart conditions and stroke
• Our FAST campaign increased public and political awareness of stroke
• We advocate measures to reduce the alarming rate of obesity in Ireland
• We campaign for greater action on the climate and health crisis
• We advocate strongly on tobacco control and were at the forefront of campaigning for the Smoking Ban.

Sadly, over 9,000 people a year still die from cardiovascular disease in Ireland and 2,000 of these die annually from stroke. Furthermore, Ireland is on its way to become Europe’s most obese nation by 2030.

Every policy, person, and community must work together to tackle these national health challenges.
