Braveheart A.C.E.S.

About Us

  • Braveheart Adult Cardiac Experience Scotland (A.C.E.S) is a Scotland wide, adult branch, of the Scottish Association for Children with Heart Disorders (SACHD). The name came from the original adult branch ‘Bravehearts’ which was founded in 1996.
  • Through our experience with SACHD we realised when we reached 18 the level of support around the country for adults with heart disorders was limited, and as such decided in partnership with SACHD that we would relaunch the adult branch of the charity.

  • Braveheart A.C.E.S will allow the young children working with SACHD a place for them to continue to grow and develop surrounded by people they have grown up with, into their young adult years. While also providing a safe haven for new members to make new friends, get advice and share their experience.

  • Braveheart A.C.E.S is run by people with heart disorders, for people with heart disorders. 

What We Do

  • Provide information & support to all adults in Scotland with CHD

  • Organize social events and weekend events

  • Share information and arrange communication forums for heart disorder patients.

  • Work with other heart related charities and patient groups across the UK, Europe and Internationally.

  • Work with all health professionals in collaborative encouragement.
