Young People

Welcome to the Youth Hub, a space made for young people aged 16 to 24 who have cardiomyopathy.

We know that dealing with a heart condition at your age can feel overwhelming or isolating. But you’re not alone – and you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or have known about your condition for a while, we’re here for you.

This is where you can:

Learn about your condition
Find support
Connect with other young people
Learn about our Youth Advisory Board

From tips on navigating school, uni or work with cardiomyopathy to advice on relationships, travel, mental health and more – it’s all here.

Take a look around and reach out if you need to.

How we can support you:

Nurse Helpline

Heart to Heart

1-to-1 phone support from someone who understands.

Living with cardiomyopathy can feel overwhelming – especially when you're young and just trying to figure everything out. That’s where Heart to Heart comes in.

This is free, confidential phone support from a trained volunteer who really understands what you’re going through – because they’ve been there too. All our volunteers have personal experience of cardiomyopathy, either themselves or through someone close to them.

We’ll match you with someone based on what’s important to you – whether that’s your diagnosis, age, the kind of stuff you're dealing with in life, or how you feel emotionally. ,

It’s your space to ask questions, chat things through, or just vent to someone who gets it – no pressure, no judgement.
