Recent Donations
The South Cleveland Heart Fund exists to support the Cardiothoracic unit at The James Cook University Hospital by providing funds for equipment and training and research that would not be currently available through NHS funding. So far it has raised well over £1million to support all aspects of the Unit and below this page provides details of some recent donations that we have received. We would like to take the opportunity to say a "Big Thank You!” to all our supporters without whose generosity we could not do the vital work that we do

Rick Taylor Memorial Rugby day in aid of SCHF
Stockton and Acklam Rugby Clubs faced off in a Rick Taylor Memorial Rugby day charity match in aid of SCHF and raised £2209
Two brothers Dan and Steven Taylor held a rugby match in memory of their dad, Rick Taylor, who was a popular player, coach and referee and to support The South Cleveland Heart Fund (SCHF).
Two of Rick’s former clubs - Stockton and Acklam - faced off in the charity match in Juny, which raised more than £2,200 through an auction, a raffle and collections.
Dan, said: "This was the third year we had held the game, the first two we donated the proceeds to the British Heart Foundation but after reading about the heart fund in The Gazette we decided it would be a great idea to donate a bit closer to home.”

A big thank you from SCHF to all who supported this most enjoyable day
