IT recruitment company The JM Group has chosen the British Heart Foundation (BHF)
as its Charity of the Year 2010/11. The JM Group will aim to raise thousands of 
pounds through staff fundraising and events over the next year. This is the first
time The JM Group has entered into a national charity fundraising relationship.

Alan Bawden, Operations Director, at [The JM Group](http://thejmgroup.com) said:“
This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to raise vital funds for the BHF but
it will also give The JM Group employees the opportunity to learn more about their
own heart health and how to lead a healthy lifestyle through the education campaigns
run by the British Heart Foundation. Heart disease touches the lives of many people
and we are delighted to be able to offer our support. It is also fitting that both
BHF and The JM Group are celebrating milestone anniversaries next year with JM celebrating
their 30th year and BHF their 50th anniversary.”

The relationship which launched this month will involve six employees taking part
in the Virgin London Marathon in April which will raise around £12,000 for the charity.
There will also be office fundraising events, initiatives and activities where all
employees from the JM Group can get involved including ‘Wear Red Day’ for National
Heart Month and a staff Heart Health Pub Quiz amongst other activities.
