Big-hearted firm backs BHF
MANAGED print service provider Midshire is now an official partner of the British Heart Foundation.
The largest independent funder of cardiovascular research in the UK, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) raises more than £100 million per year for life-saving research into heart-related illnesses, including heart disease and heart failure.
Midshire’s IT sales manager Stuart Carruthers said: “When it comes to heart-related disease, I don’t think people are aware of just how many people are still affected by it today, that’s why we’re excited to be involved with the British Heart Foundation. Their work over the last half century has saved millions of lives around the world and we’re very proud to help in any way we can.”
The BHF has rolled out three CPR training courses to Midshire’s staff and in August staff at Midshire’s offices will compete on static bikes for a gruelling coast-to-coast Midshire on Tour ride to support BHF.
Natalie Bunyan, fundraising manager at the BHF said: “Heart and circulatory diseases devastate families every single day.
“They cause heartbreak on every street, but we want to beat heartbreak forever.
“Our research is only funded through public generosity and through joining forces with organisations like Midshire.
“This type of community engagement helps to raise valuable funds to research cures and treatments into heart and circulatory disease, so we can beat heartbreak forever.”
