| Tensor makes donation to the British Heart Foundation | Thu 14th October 2010 |
Tensor plc has made a donation of £75 to the very worthy national cause of the British Heart Foundation. Tensor as a company has given £50, while some employees raised £25 themselves in a couple of days. Kate Smith, After Sales & Project Manager at Tensor plc, who organised the employee contribution, said: “The British Heart Foundation is such a worthwhile charity and means a lot to us as a caring company, so we wanted to make a donation.”
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is a registered charity, and its mission statement reads: “Our vision is of a world in which people do not die prematurely of heart disease. We'll achieve this through pioneering research, vital prevention activity and ensuring quality care and support for everyone living with heart disease.”
Via revenue streams such as fundraising, income from public funding, investment income and retail, the organisation on average raises £100 million per year. Despite the difficult economic climate BHF, was still able to invest £85.7m of charitable expenditure last year, the money going into research and prevention and care activity.
