About us

We are committed to providing essential support and care to families who have children born with complex health needs, including Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) and complex feeding difficulties.

Why support Lagan's Foundation

Heart defects are the number one birth defect in the UK with one in one hundred born with one. Heart defects show no bias for race, gender or socio-economic status and the care we deliver is unique. Our highly trained carers go beyond meeting the needs of the children they support and deliver key memories, enhancing their quality of life and having fun.

What do we do?

Our mission is the brige the gap between hospital and home, guiding families through the challenging transition with compassion and expertise. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality support, empoweing parents to navigate the complexities of caring for their children at home, and fostering resilience in the face of adversity.

Our devoted team provides our families with care at home as well as emotional support, whether through a compassionate ear, or through our community groups hosted each month. We can signpost families on how to access funded care, as well as offering educational resources to help empower, educate, and increase their knowledge about how to support their child.

Everything we do is essential to help to spread awareness for the number 1 birth defect in the UK.

Our Story

The journey of Lagan’s Foundation began when Carren, our founder, experienced the overwhelming reality of raising a child with complex congenital heart defects. At just 15 weeks old, Lagan gained her wings and ever since Carren has been committed to ensuring that no family would feel the same way she did: isolated, alone and with nowhere to turn for support. From this life-changing experience, Lagan’s Foundation was born in memory of her daughter.
