The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is the largest independent funder of research into heart and circulatory diseases and the third largest charitable funder of medical research in the UK. Each year, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we are able to fund around £100 million of new research across the UK. The research we fund has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory conditions since the 1960s. Despite these breakthroughs, our work is not done, as there are still more than 7 million people living with heart and circulatory diseases in the UK and these diseases cause more than a quarter of all UK deaths.

Future of gas

The UK has a target to be net zero by 2050. That means reducing harmful CO2emissions by 100%. Those emissions come from burning fossil fuels like coal, diesel and fossil gas – to power our industries, run our cars and lorries and heat our homes and businesses. We have to find new ways – greener ways – to do these things.

Home heating

Over one third of CO2 emissions come from heating our homes and offices so decarbonising heat is a major issue for the UK to address. We are working on ways to achieve this and believe that the best way to keep customers warm whilst enjoying the flexibility of gas with minimum disruption, is to use the existing network to deliver greener gases like biomethane and hydrogen. They work just as well as fossil gas but without the CO2emissions, in fact hydrogen produces zero emissions.

We fully support renewable electricity from wind and solar to meet lots of the country’s energy needs but it is now well understood that if we are to reach 100% carbon reduction, hydrogen will be essential to heat our homes, fuel heavy transport and power industries.

Our heritage

We were established to make a real difference.
Over 100 years ago Joseph Rowntree created us to provide housing in communities and to understand the root causes of social problems.
We will always be driven by our founder’s vision and are constantly working out what this means for our work in the present day.

Joseph Rowntree was a visionary Quaker businessman and social reformer. He built New Earswick, a village in York, for people on low incomes, including staff who worked in his factory, giving them access to decent homes at affordable rents. He was committed to understanding the causes of poverty and disadvantage in order to create a better society. His son, Seebohm Rowntree, was a pioneering social researcher who undertook one of the country’s first investigations into poverty.

The origins of our financial resources lie in a major donation of shares in the original Rowntree Company gifted to us by Joseph Rowntree in 1904. A review in 2020 of publicly available sources regarding the company’s historic global supply chains revealed deeply disturbing practices and evidence that the firm benefited from slavery and forced labour. As former shareholders in the firm we have issued an apology for the deep and enduring harms caused by these shameful practices and are supporting further research into this part of our history.
