Chain of Hope relaunches Share Your Heart at the Saatchi Gallery to mark 30 years of saving children’s lives.

Chain of Hope returns to the Saatchi Gallery in February 2026 with the relaunch of its acclaimed arts initiative, Share Your Heart — a major exhibition and charity auction bringing together leading artists and public figures around a single, powerful motif: the heart.

Uniting creativity with compassion, Share Your Heart raises awareness and vital funds for children born with congenital heart disease. Each participating artist contributes a one-of-a-kind, heart-themed work, offering a personal response to ideas of connection, care and resilience. The result is a richly varied collection that reflects both artistic generosity and human empathy.

Curated by art patron Maria Sukkar, the presentation features more than 60 artworks, all available to view and bid on via shareyourheart.co.uk.

This exclusive collection of hearts is created by artists, creative talent and celebrities, including: Aitch, Martha Freud, Charlotte Colbert, Conrad Shawcross, Rana Begum, Philip Cobert, Rankin, Gordon Cheung, Chris Levine, Dame Lesley (Twiggy) Lawson, Amy Beager, Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich, Graham Norton, Zandra Rhodes, Nabil Nahas, Yomi Adegoke & Jamie Oliver. 

The 2026 edition forms part of Heart Month, an annual global initiative each February to spotlight congenital heart disease. This year’s campaign carries particular weight, marking 30 years since Chain of Hope was founded by Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub.

Since its inception, Chain of Hope has worked through an international network of volunteer cardiac professionals to support children in 43 countries across five continents, enabling more than 5,000 life-saving procedures and helping to establish five specialist paediatric cardiac centres in Egypt, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Jamaica.

Building on the success of previous editions, Share Your Heart 2026 reaffirms the belief that art can do more than move us — it can heal, connect and save lives. Bringing together artists, creatives and supporters, the project stands as a reminder of what collective generosity can achieve when creativity is placed at the service of care.
