We recognise that 85% of children born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) now survive into adulthood. We aim to offer support, awareness and opportunity to teenagers, young adults (16 to 24) and their families in Gloucestershire (across South Wales and the South West of England), born with complex Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). We also aim to raise public understanding of complex CHD and its impact on the young person and their family. These young people battle daily with life limiting and terminal illness. Their emotional health affects their physical health. Our support will help enable them to have greater access to life opportunities. Your support will help us achieve this. We have employed an Adult Cardiac Youth Worker, who will undertake a liaison role between the young person, medical professionals and community provision. The Youth Worker’s focus will be the young person’s holistic needs and support for their emotional wellbeing.
