A corporate partnership between professional services firm Deloitte and the British
Heart Foundation (BHF) and Leukaemia Research has generated over £2 million for 
the charities.

Following a staff vote, Deloitte initially entered into a two year fundraising partnership
with the two charities in 2005, aiming to raise £1 million. However, following its
success, the partnership was extended for a further year, raising £2.02 million 
in total.

Deloitte staff and partners supported both charities via a range of fundraising 
activities from speed-networking, ‘X-Factor’ themed events and the foundation of
the Deloitte Choir, to the more traditional favourites such as quiz nights, raffles
and a number of popular sporting events.

One of the highlights for 2007 was when 1,000 Deloitte staff took part in the annual
JP Morgan Chase Challenge (5km run), raising over £100,000 for BHF & Leukaemia Research,
including matched funding from the firm.

Regular payroll giving has also been successful with over 25% of Deloitte’s UK staff
currently participating in the scheme, earning the Firm a Gold award for Payroll
Giving from the Institute of Fundraising presented at the Treasury.
