Story
Laings is helping to Beat Heartbreak Forever with British Heart Foundation, our official charity partner since 2018. Laings, a family business currently in the hands of the sixth generation of the Laing family, knows the devastating impact that heart and circulatory diseases can have. That is why companywide and in our four locations – Glasgow, Edinburgh, Southampton and Cardiff – we are working with employees, clients and the local community to raise money for a charity so close to our own heart.
To help support British Heart Foundation and celebrate 60 years of the charity’s pioneering researching, Laings is kicking-off a two-year fundraising campaign. It begins with our Tour De Laings challenge, where we’ll be walking, running and cycling a total of 975km - the exact distance between all our sites in the UK.
Later in the year, we’ll also be providing CPR training to employees, to clients on World Heart Day, and hosting a Client Golf Day in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Southampton. And that’s not it. Next year, we’ll also be working with the British Heart Foundation store volunteers to pass on our knowledge of the retail industry to help with visual merchandising and creating exciting experiences in its charity shops, alongside various other fundraising activities.
We welcome and appreciate all donations to help us realise the British Heart Foundation’s vision of a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases.
