Between Breath and Beat Trust is a charity dedicated to supporting heart and lung transplant patients, as well as their families, during some of the most challenging times of their lives. Founded by Christopher Mark Richards, who himself is waiting for a heart and lung transplant, our mission is to provide emotional support, comfort, and practical resources to individuals awaiting or recovering from heart and lung transplants.

We understand the emotional, physical, and financial strain that comes with life-saving transplant procedures. That’s why we aim to create a network of support for patients and families, helping them navigate the journey with strength and dignity.

Our work includes:

• Peer Support: Offering emotional relief and guidance through peer-to-peer support, connecting patients and families with others who understand their journey.
• Wellbeing Hampers: Providing essential comfort and dignity for patients during their long hospital stays, ensuring they have the resources they need for their recovery.
• Family Activity Packs: Supporting family members, especially those with young children, by providing activity packs that help maintain emotional connections during hospital visits.

Between Breath and Beat Trust was established to ensure that no one has to face the challenges of heart and lung transplants alone. We believe that by offering practical help, emotional relief, and a strong sense of community, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those affected.

Your support allows us to continue our important work and provide the services that truly make a difference. Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us make every breath and every beat count.
