The Big Heart Build is a community project, so anyone can help by volunteering a few hours, making a donation or donating building materials.
Working in collaboration with The Sand Academies Trust and Gloucester City Council, we have secured a spacious property with grounds on the Willow site in Tuffley. The property will form the new ‘HQ’ and also enable us to host meetings, events, support groups and activity workshops!
The building requires a complete re-fit, with a recent survey identifying the need for a new kitchen, bathroom, glazing, an electrical refit as well as some structural work and landscaping. Every penny helps so hit the button to donate!
Our target is six months to get this up and running and a few volunteers have already got stuck-in clearing the building and the garden! We are now in the process of looking at the structure and we are already on our second donated skip! To volunteer or donate materials please register below

Kelly Cornish
Heart Heroes Founder and Trustee
“We’re thrilled to be working in partnership with SAND Academies Trust and the council to provide even more opportunities for children and their families living with heart conditions in Gloucestershire. This will provide a safe, warm space, where they can be supported and spend time with other families,” said Kelly.
“When a child is diagnosed with a heart condition – which can happen just hours or days after they are born – it is a huge shock to the parents and family. Heart Heroes supports these families, and the new space will enable us to do this even more effectively.”
Martin Hughes
CEO Sands Trust
“Both the SAND Academies Trust and Heart Heroes are organisations that have a remarkably similar ethos; we both put young people at the heart of everything we do.
Therefore, it is only natural that the Academy Trust is more than delighted to work with and support the team at Heart Heroes to provide a space for the them to continue to provide help to children living with Heart Conditions, providing physical, educational and emotional support. We look forward to a collaborative and long-standing relationship!”
