Help us build the UK’s largest Centre for Children’s Heart and Lung Health

We're creating a world-leading children’s health campus that will accelerate breakthroughs in care and treatment, but we need your help to do it.

Twenty years ago, with support from people just like you, we created a hospital that doesn’t feel like a hospital. Now is your chance to build on this legacy.

We need partners and supporters who are ready to make a transformative difference. You have the power to advance specialist care, accelerate breakthroughs, and improve children’s lives for generations. Join us in our unwavering commitment to putting children and families at the heart of everything we do, and help ensure every child can thrive.

“For children with complex cardiac and respiratory conditions, we offer more than treatment—we offer a future… our experts provide a lifeline that begins in the womb and sustains a child through every milestone.” – Gubby Ayida, Chief Executive of Evelina London Children’s Hospital

Holding a lifetime of hope in your hands

A child’s heart is a tiny yet mighty thing. First beating in the womb at just 21 days, and no bigger than a walnut at birth, a heart powers a lifetime of hope. It is also extraordinarily intricate – and vulnerable to complex, life-threatening, congenital problems.

Right now, thousands of children’s hearts, lungs, and futures depend on expert hands, compassionate care, and the most advanced medical techniques. And they depend on your support, too. Housed in a purpose-built, 12-floor building, designed with patient and family experience at its heart, our new Centre will provide long-term diagnostic services, critical care, and surgical capacity for children with the most complex heart and lung conditions.

Why Evelina London?

Caring for the whole child – We combine intensive care, general paediatrics and highly specialist services. This means fewer transfers, faster decisions and safer care for the sickest children. We were the first children’s hospital to be rated ‘outstanding’ by CQC.

For their whole life – We are the only hospital in the capital where specialist children’s services sit alongside maternity and fertility care, and adult services, enabling seamless care from pre-conception to adulthood.

With scale and reach – We are one of the largest providers of women’s and children’s healthcare in the country, with the largest neonatal care unit in London and the largest paediatric intensive care unit in South East London.

Through research-led innovation – We have two dedicated children’s research wards and 90 staff working on over 270 research projects. We’re helping pioneer premature birth prediction, creating global treatments for nut allergy and leading the way to curing sickle cell disease.

And academic partnership – We are uniquely placed to integrate clinical care with world-class research and education thanks to our partnerships with King’s College London, Imperial College, King’s Health Partners, the Institute of Cancer Research and others.
