"The British Heart Foundation helped me considerably in terms of understanding my condition and the available treatment options... they reminded me that I was not alone in this fight."

Restart A Heart Day with British Heart Foundation
The British Heart Foundation holds a special place in the hearts of the Laing family, and this sentiment resonates deeply with all of us here at Laings. Our connection to the BHF is more than symbolic, it is rooted in a deeply personal journey with our President and OBE, Stuart Laing, and his experince with heart failure. His openness and vulnerability in sharing his story have helped illuminate the vital role the British Heart Foundation played in his recovery and support.
Since becoming an official charity partner in 2018, we’ve proudly supported the British Heart Foundation through silent auctions, fundraising events, and generous contributions from clients and staff. This ongoing commitment helps fund life-saving research into treatments for heart and circulatory diseases.
Restart a Heart Day
October 16th marks Restart a Heart Day, a campaign dedicated to raising awareness of cardiac arrest and encouraging CPR training, giving people the confidence and skills to save lives. It also promotes access to public defibrillators and shines a light on the healthcare inequalities that still exist.
Staff Training
We strive to ensure all Laings staff receive defibrillator training, equipping our team with the confidence to act in an emergency.
Every year, the UK faces over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, with survival rates below one in ten. Yet CPR and defibrillator use can more than double survival chances. This year, BHF has launched a free online training tool that takes just 15 minutes, find out how to restart a heart today.
Charity Initiatives
On World Heart Day, we proudly celebrated our incredible charity partner. Earlier this month, Laings sponsored a memorable Golf Day at Gleneagles in support of BHF’s life-saving research, a day filled with team spirit, exceptional golf, and heartfelt support for a cause close to many hearts.
We’d like to thank the British Heart Foundation for their incredible dedication and tireless work in educating and supporting such an important cause.
