Registered Charity No. 1107496 |

On Tuesday 21st November, Cherie Booth QC very kindly invited the Arrhythmia Alliance and guests to attend a private reception at Downing Street. The main purpose for this was to celebrate the success so far of the charity and to help launch a Fund-Raising Campaign to provide vital services and to generate on-going sustainable income over the coming three to five years. The outstanding work achieved so far is NOT sustainable even in the short term without financial support. |
|
We were delighted to have had the opportunity to be part of a high profile event to promote the charity and gain support from our guests which included leading cardiologists, patients and members of the Alliance |

The Alliance has reached a very critical stage in its’ life. Like many charities it has found start-up funding for specific, time-bound projects. This is wonderful, however it leaves a big hole when it comes to the day-to-day funding of core activities such as the 24-hour Helpline Service offering a lifeline to individuals in great distress. The web site received over one million hits last year – this must be maintained and regularly up-dated. Providing information and support for patients and their families is amongst the most valuable work the Arrhythmia-Alliance does and must be continued. |
