Great news! We’ve received a £1,000 donation from the Tesco Community Grant, in partnership with easyfundraising — and we’re one step closer to turning our dream into reality!

This funding brings us closer to creating Olius, our very own Heart Heroes soft toy.

Olius isn’t just a cuddly companion — he’s a symbol of courage, connection, and love. Named as an anagram of Louis (the first human to receive a heart transplant), Olius carries a powerful legacy of hope.

His eight soft legs represent the amazing support network each child has on their cardiac journey: Heart Heroes, nurses, doctors, surgeons, family, school, and friends.

We can’t wait to bring him to life — and into the arms of the brave children we support.
