LHM Open Day. Meet other teenagers with a heart condition like yours.

Every year, Little Hearts Matter has an Open Day, and families from across the country all come together to one place. Everyone there either has a heart condition, or knows someone that has a heart condition, so it is a fantastic opportunity to meet other people who know, first hand, what it's like to live with a single ventricle heart.


This year, the Open Day will be taking place in the West Midlands, here are the deets:

Date: Saturday 2nd March
Time: 09.00-16.30
Place: Bethel Convention Centre, West Bromwich, B70 7JW
Who can come? Little Hearts Matter members (and their friends/family)


You'll need to be a member of LHM (it's free to join, just email info@lhm.org.uk). There are special sessions for 10-25 year olds, and this year we have a jam-packed programme that will look at moving to secondary school, and moving to adult hospital services. We've got experts to come along and speak, and you can ask them any questions that you like.

The best thing about the day, though, is being able to talk to loads of people your age who have a single ventricle heart condition. Every year we get loads of new faces, and everyone is really friendly so you feel right at home straight away. You can talk about stuff that annoys you, like people staring at your scar, and also share some useful tips. If you want more info about the day, either email jon@lhm.org.uk or click here. REALLY hope that I see you there :)
