• Website with message boards for on-line support, information and links to other, relevant sites and organisations
• Ward visits to parents whose child is an in-patient
• Telephone support
• Pre Natal support - telephone volunteers and specialised ante-natal classes
• Social events, parties and meetings
• Support and social events for older children and teenagers
• Provisions of toys, facilities and small items of medical equipment for the Cardiac Ward at the Evelina Children's Hospital.

Membership of ECHO is free and open to all families whose heart child is treated at the Evelina Hospital, no matter where they live.
