One in five people in Scotland are living with a chest, heart or stroke condition – including Long Covid. Every day people are leaving hospital scared and on their own. But you can help us change this. Thanks to you, people across Scotland will get the support they desperately need to recover after a life-changing diagnosis. You’ll be helping them do more than survive – you’ll help them really live. By raising money for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, you’ll be making sure there’s #NoLifeHalfLived in Scotland for people with our conditions.
