Pumping Marvellous

Let’s not beat around the bush — yes, pun absolutely intended. The single biggest way you can help the Pumping Marvellous Foundation is by donating or fundraising.

Heart Failure affects up to a million people in the UK, and yes every penny you donate to us goes straight back into supporting real people and real families living with the condition. No fluff. No waste. Just impact.

Your donations allow us to produce and distribute our Marvellous range of patient information completely free of charge to NHS Heart Failure teams across the entire UK. There isn’t a postcode we won’t reach. We equip patients with knowledge, confidence and the tools they need to live better with heart failure.

• Marvellous Guides 

We don’t just talk change — we make it happen. Your support fuels campaigns and projects that directly shift perceptions, improve standards of care and put patients’ voices front and centre.

In 2026 we are launching our  “Beat to Treat” Campaign

The BEAT to TREAT initiative aims to enhance Heart Failure diagnosis and treatment by recognising key symptoms, facilitating early detection, and expediting care. The acronym BEAT stands for Breathlessness, Exhaustion, Ankle swelling, and Time to tell your GP or Nurse. The objective is to swiftly initiate appropriate medication and other treatments,
potentially leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced hospitalisations.

From BEAT symptom recognition to diagnosis and treatment within 60 minutes. A pathway that speeds up diagnosis and the start of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for those with BEAT symptoms, using a point of care NT-proBNP as a rule-out tool for Heart Failure and an AI ECHO for patients with NT-proBNP over 400pg/mL, with prompt Heart Failure specialist assessment: Further tests, investigations and management by the HF team Full hospital or community-based Echocardiogram. Up-titration and Optimisation of GDMT – STRONG HF rapid up-titration if appropriate.

Other examples of funded work include

We are about impact not more talk.
