HSF Governance and Transparency

As a not-for-profit organisation, independence and integrity are at the heart of everything HSF does. This vision is achieved through strict governance principles, codes of conduct and transparency regulations.

Our Commitment to Transparency and Accountability

At HSF, we believe that upholding rigorous standards in relation to governance and compliance is essential to achieving our mission. Our commitment to transparency ensures that our donors, beneficiaries, and the general public can have complete confidence in our operations.

Our Governance Structure

Our organisation is governed by a dedicated Board of Trustees, comprising experienced professionals from a range of backgrounds in healthcare. The Board regularly reviews the strategic direction, financial integrity, and adherence to the mission of HSF to deliver the best services possible.

Our Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Standards

HSF complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations governing charitable organisations. We are registered as a not-for-profit organisation (NPO) and we currently operate throughout England, Belgium, France and Italy.

Our Ethical Considerations

We are committed to operating ethical fundraising practices that prioritise the interests of our mission and our beneficiaries. We provide clear information about how donations are collected and allocated in addition to the impact they make regarding heart failure research and education.

Continuous Improvement

We are dedicated to continuously improving our governance and compliance practices, by regularly reviewing our approaches, policies and procedures to align with HSF’s mission and the evolving needs of the community. Feedback is warmly welcomed and always taken into account as we strive to provide the best services.
