Children with serious heart conditions are currently being left without a voice. Support them by demonstrating we are connected, by speaking out as one collective voice we can stop the Government discriminating against children with heart conditions.
Currently no information about children’s heart disease is given to Disability Living Allowance (DLA) assessors, even though heart conditions are the most common type of birth defect and over 6,000 children are diagnosed every year. This lack of guidance means that many seriously ill children with heart conditions are being refused DLA, simply because the assessors have no information about their condition.
We need to encourage the Department of Work & Pensions to make a change, NOW.
We need to convince young people that there is still power in the masses, that by showing we are all connected we can effect change.

The winner, and any ideas taken through to execution, will receive a £100 John Lewis voucher

Who:
Who:
Care about the fact that seriously sick children with heart conditions are being discriminated against by the Department of Work & Pensions and wish to demonstrate solidarity and connection with them.
To:
To:
Stand up for children and young people with heart conditions, to support them in accessing improved care and for their families to receive the financial support they are entitled to. By demonstrating that these children are not alone, that we as a whole are connected – and that people will speak out on these children’s behalf as one collective voice.
We’re not asking the Government for much here – simply to treat heart children fairly and ensure that Disability Living Allowance assessors receive information about the difficulties of living with a heart condition in order to be able to make an informed choice.
Key messages
The power of connection and the collective voice. We are #connecting hearts.
Give us ideas for creative, unique and emotionally arresting content (photographs, quotes, images, gifs, short films and slogans) that demonstrates connection and inspires people to join together and act as a collective voice on behalf of children and young adults with serious heart conditions – and ensures the DWP changes the guidance provided to its DLA assessors.
Ideas can either encourage people to support the charity echo’s DLA campaign, or simply encourage people to demonstrate their solidarity with heart children by connecting with them through social media.
