The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is set to benefit from £30,000 thanks to the hugely successful corporate partnership with Yorkshire based, Strategic Team Group, one of the UK's fastest growing building contractors.

Following a staff vote Strategic Team Group entered into a 12 month fundraising partnership with the BHF and aimed to raise £20,000. However, following incredible fundraising success at the company's second charity gala dinner help in May last year at the Savile Suite, Royal Armouries in Leeds, the partnership managed to raise an impressive £30,000 in total.

Strategic Team Group staff supported the charity via a range of exciting and innovative fundraising activities, kicking off with the hugely successful gala dinner followed by more traditional favourites such as quiz nights, raffles and a number of popular family events including Bonfire Night celebrations and home baking days.

Douglas Rouse, Head of Corporate Partnerships at the British Heart Foundation, said:

"The fundraising efforts from Strategic Team Group have been outstanding with staff fully committed to raising money for a vital cause. Corporate partnerships like these make a real difference to us and have a huge impact in our fight against heart disease."

Charles Tweed, Strategic Team Group's business development director said:

"We have really enjoyed working with the British Heart Foundation to raise these essential funds to help fight heart disease. Our staff have really taken the partnership to heart and have participated in the numerous fundraising events and activities in support of the BHF's life-saving work."
