I was moved to tears when I heard this had happened, & again listening today. This will help so many families impacted by #CHD. We thought we were going on to talk about @tinytickers work & the original grant - what an utterly fabulous surprise! Thank you so much @thisisheart! ❤️
.@JamieTheakston and @AmandaHolden surprise @tinytickers with a MASSIVE donation! Tiny Tickers works to improve the early detection and diagnosis of heart defects in babies giving them a better start in life❤️ #MakeSomeNoise @makenoise

Here's me pointing randomly above my head to help spread awareness of #CHD this #HeartWeek... Seriously though, it always surprises me how little awareness there is of heart defects, so the more we can do at @tinytickers to spread a bit of knowledge, the better. ❤️
Here's our CEO @jonmarnold with five facts about congenital heart disease (#CHD). 🫀 Save it, share it & let's spread awareness this #HeartWeek. 💕💖 #tinytickersheartweek2024

The #CHD community is a wonderful, emotional, powerful thing. Thank you to everyone who advocates on our behalf today, and every day.
As #MakeSomeNoise Day comes to an end, we want to acknowledge the important contribution of all the #heart families who shared their stories on Heart, Capital & other radio stations. Their ability to share their stories so emotionally & impactfully has made all the difference.

Huge day for our little charity with superb coverage on @thisisheart as part of the @makenoise campaign. So grateful to all involved, particularly Jen & family for sharing their powerful story. So proud to lead @tinytickers today & every day, knowing the difference we make❤️ #CHD
On average, 12 babies are born every day in the UK with a serious heart condition. Your donations will help @tinytickers fund specialist hospital equipment and give parents close support. Please keep your donations to @makenoise coming so we can keep changing lives. ❤️

We're been sharing questions ahead of job interviews at @tinytickers for a few years now, as have many other small charities I know. I love it, and we've received nothing but positive feedback from candidates. Glad to see large charities giving it a go too...
The initiative, introduced as part of the charity’s equality, diversity and inclusion commitments, is being rolled out after consultation with lived experience groups thirdsector.co.uk/major-char…

When a baby with a heart defect is born, it is hard to be a parent but also a sibling. Any sibling should be able to learn just how great their brother or sister is. Find out more here: tinytickers.org/support (Tweet by 13 yr old Max, brother to heart patient Zoe.)
