A bit about us
The charity was founded in 1979 by parent Ann Scott and was originally called the Lesley Ann Scott Memorial Fund. Ann started the charity after the death of her daughter Lesley Ann on 10th February 1979. Lesley Ann was born with a congenital heart defect as was her sister and Ann’s first daughter Lisa, who sadly also died from the same heart related condition.
It was in February 1983 when the name of the charity was changed to the one we know now, the Children’s Heart Unit Fund.
On 27th August 1989 was the date of the world’s biggest children’s party which took place on the Town Moor in collaboration with Kelburn Holdings via PES Associates Charitable Trust.
