Sudden Cardiac Arrest UK is the UK’s largest cardiac arrest survivorship charity, providing peer support, trusted information, and advocacy for better post-cardiac arrest care. Friends of SCA UK is how individuals who care about this cause can sustain and strengthen that work — ensuring that every survivor and co-survivor who needs us can find understanding, information, and support when they need it most.
What You Get
For just £24 a year — less than 50p a week — Friends of SCA UK members receive:
- Four issues a year of Phoenix, our quarterly digital magazine covering survivorship, research, member stories, and community news
- A Friends of SCA UK badge — a small but meaningful symbol of solidarity with the cardiac arrest community
- The knowledge that you are directly supporting thousands of cardiac arrest survivors and co-survivors across the UK
Why It Matters
Sudden cardiac arrest kills tens of thousands of people in the UK every year. Those who survive face a long and often poorly supported recovery journey — navigating physical after-effects, psychological trauma, and practical challenges that the NHS is rarely equipped to fully address. SCA UK exists to fill that gap: with peer support from people who have been there, information written from lived experience, and a voice that advocates for better care.
Whether you are a survivor yourself, a co-survivor, a healthcare professional, or simply someone who believes that people affected by cardiac arrest deserve better support, becoming a Friend is a direct, tangible way to help make that happen.
