Every note performed transcends the walls of the theatre, carrying hope through your generous donations to the places it's needed most—healing hearts and supporting healers worldwide.
Supporting Healing Little Hearts
One million children are born with heart defects in the world's poorest countries every year. Tragically, 90% will never receive the life-saving treatment they need due to lack of equipped hospitals and trained medical professionals.
Founded 15 years ago by Dr Sanjiv Nichani, OBE, Healing Little Hearts sends teams of highly specialized children's heart surgeons, anaesthetists, and nurses across the world to operate on these vulnerable children.
All medical professionals volunteer their time, taking annual leave to participate in missions with no remuneration—receiving only economy tickets and basic accommodation. HLH also focuses on training and capacity building, ensuring long-term sustainability in Kenya, India, Namibia, Angola, and Nicaragua.
