P4D | Parcels 4 Delivery is supporting worthwhile causes by offering a 'Round up your Pound' service at its checkout and we change the charity regularly. You can watch the gift grow over the course of three months and see the totals for every charity we've supported since the scheme began in May 2011 on our main charity page. We create a page for each charity we support, so you can learn more about what they do.

The British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation is the Nations’ Heart Charity. 2011 brings their 50th anniversary and in that time they’ve made some amazing discoveries and saved the lives of millions of people. We're supporting their latest campaign: Mending Broken Hearts.

Mending Broken Hearts

How do you mend a broken heart? (Full version) from British Heart Foundation.

Research work from the British Heart Foundation continues and as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations they've launched a new appeal called the Mending Broken Hearts appeal, which aims to find a cure for heart disease by encouraging the heart to grow new, healthy cells – so it will literally mend itself.

At the moment, if someone has a heart attack, part of their heart dies and it cannot be reversed. but pioneering 'Mending Hearts' research will hopefully mean that people will have a fully functioning heart again. The first professor who will be paid by the British Heart Foundation to carry out this study is Professor Paul Riley.

The British Heart Foundation is hoping to raise £50,000 for the research.
