We have been lucky enough to have worked with the below companies in recent years and their support has been greatly appreciated. All fundraising, events and relationships have been a great success and we would like to say thank you to each person who has been part of them.
VMware

VMware is a multinational software company who selected us as their charity partner for 2019/2020 after Marketing Director, Louise Matthews, nominated us. Louise is a long-standing supporter of the charity since her cousin died unexpectedly of cardiomyopathy while playing football in 2005. Years later, Louise, her Mum and Aunt were all diagnosed with ARVC.
VMware interns came together to create VMgiving to raise awareness and funds as two employees in their Staines office have cardiomyopathy. All funds raised by staff will be match-funded by the company.
