The difference we make Each year around 7,500 patients, carers and relatives stay at our hospital guest accommodation. Since we first opened our doors in 2001 over 100,000 people have benefited from this incredible place, often described as a haven by guests experiencing some of the most difficult times in their lives. Funds raised by the charity have enabled over £350,000 of equipment to be donated to cardiology departments across the south west. This equipment has transformed the way in which cardiology teams work and supported the advancement of care and treatment for cardiac patients. Our Defibrillator Programme Our Counselling Service Since the defibrillator programme began in 2014 we have seen a steady increase in the number of defibrillators being provided, with 2018 proving to be our most successful year yet! Our aim for 2019 is to install a defibrillator a week to help create a 'heart-safe' south west. This year has seen the expansion of our counselling services into wider Devon and Cornwall. This is a huge step towards supporting people across the peninsula. Our aim for 2019 is to increase the number of people supported across the whole of Devon & Cornwall Please select a donation amount: * £1 Will make a difference and help a heart £5 Will provide an emergency overnight kit for a guest at The Lodge £10 Will provide information, support & advice to heart patients £20 Will help to fund volunteer peer supporter training £30 Will fund a counselling session for someone in need Other Set up a regular payment Donate
