Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland


Join the Happy Feet Team and Help CHSS Fight Scotland’s Biggest Killers

Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) improves the quality of life for people in Scotland affected by chest, heart and stroke illness, through medical research, advice and information, and support in the community.

Join our great team of runners and make a real difference in Scotland’s health.

Almost everyone knows someone affected by chest, heart or stroke related illnesses. In fact Scotland has one of the highest rates of heart disease in the world.

Did you know that:

  • Heart disease represents almost 20% of all deaths per year in Scotland?
  • Stroke is the greatest cause of severe disability in Scotland and kills 3 times as many women a year than breast cancer and is not restricted to the elderly as is the common perception?
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease affects 90 thousand people in Scotland and The World Health Organisation estimates soon it will be the world’s third biggest killer?

 We offer a range of community services throughout Scotland, including support for families and other carers. Many of our services and fundraising activities rely on the contribution of volunteers whose donation of time is always much appreciated.
