The Ben Williams Trust funds a ground-breaking new nurse specialist post at the Royal Brompton Hospital, London. Ben’s Nurse provides support to children with arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) and their families, helping them to learn to live with their conditions and in some cases the threat of sudden death. The Trust also supports youth cricket, with a particular emphasis on wicketkeeping.
