How did the bhf start?

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) was established in 1961 by a group of medical professionals and concerned citizens who aimed to combat the rising prevalence of Heart disease in the UK. Initially named the "National Heart Fund," it sought to fund research, promote education, and raise awareness about heart health. Over the years, the organization has grown significantly, becoming a leading charity in cardiovascular research and patient support. Its mission remains focused on reducing the impact of heart disease through research, prevention, and education.
