It is estimated that as many as 15 million children die or remain severely ill every year through potentially treatable or preventable cardiac diseases.
Since 1996, Chain of Hope has been working towards our long-term goal that all children, wherever they are born, have access to quality cardiac care in their own countries.

Project Wingman is a charity founded in direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Professor Robert Bor, Captain Dave Fielding and Captain Emma Henderson came together to explore how grounded aircrew could support NHS staff. They put a call out to the airline community with the idea of taking crew into NHS hospitals to look after NHS staff during their breaks in dedicated lounges and thus Project Wingman was born. An incredible 6,500 airline crew offered their time, knowledge and skills to serve and support NHS staff, providing vital well-being and mental health support.
