SADS UK is a cardiac charity aiming to prevent sudden cardiac death in young and apparently fit and healthy people. The charity funds research into SADS and supports people who have been affected, sadly through the death of a relative or a sudden cardiac arrest in the family. The charity provides information and support to people who have been affected.

SADS UK supports research to better understand, identify and treat the complex conditions that can cause sudden death.  The charity organises defibrillators and CPR in the community and supports people who have been traumatised by carrying out or witnessing resuscitation.

The sudden death of a child, young person or healthy adult is traumatic and devastating. It is so often the case that the person who died was vibrant and apparently fit and healthy prior to their sudden death.

A SADS death is totally incomprehensible, and the charity helps support people who have been bereaved in this way.
