Didn't know Bob was a patron:
QuoteIn 2019, Robert Smith began supporting Heart Research UK by creating his first piece for our anonymous heART project, saying that before then, he hadn't "picked up paint with purpose for almost 30 years – my favourite creative medium has always been sound – but making these has inspired me to start drawing again..."
Then in 2020 and 2021 Robert submitted more artwork, as part of our anonymous heART project and has now joined Heart Research UK as a patron, saying:
"I am very proud to be a patron of Heart Research UK – their determined focus on pioneering research into the understanding and treatment of cardiovascular disease, and their drive to improve the heart health of the UK is inspiring.
More than a quarter of all deaths in the UK are caused by heart and circulatory disease – I have very sadly seen too many friends and family fall victim over the years."
