Who we are

Why we are here

Welcome to Heartlink and our website! 

Have a look round the site to get full details of what we do and our many activities 

You can find help and advice about heart disease by clicking the link HERE. 

We want you to join us, whether you need help yourself, want to help others or just want to get involved.

  

 Heartlink is a local charity led by heart patients, for heart patients and their families. Based in Southall, Greenford, Hanwell, Ealing, and West London, we provide support and advice to those living with heart conditions, especially those undergoing or recovering from hospital treatment. 

While clinical staff focus on medical care, Heartlink offers something equally vital, personal understanding and guidance from those who’ve been through the same journey.

We are deeply committed to raising awareness about heart disease risk factors within the community. By hosting educational workshops, health awareness events, and outreach campaigns, we help individuals identify and address common risks such as high blood pressure, poor diet, smoking, and lack of exercise. 

Our goal is to empower people with the knowledge they need to make healthier choices and reduce their chances of developing heart-related conditions.
