Your Very Good Health

Client
First Data / British Heart Foundation

Challenge
First Data needed a high level but down to earth way to entertain a small group of their clients and raise significant funds for their chosen charity, the British Heart Foundation.

BEYONDsolution
Our ‘charity friendly’ approach maximised our client’s budget while still delivering a must-attend event. Insightful lateral thinking enabled us to combine fun with vital health issues that fully reflected the BHF message.

• probably the world’s first ‘Good for the Heart’ wine tasting
• securing the open balcony ‘attic room’ at The Luxe gave this small group privacy and a chance to enjoy the restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere
• a specially created menu packed with indulgent yet healthy choices – ending with sumptuous dark chocolate truffles crammed with beneficial antioxidants
• Wii sports to get the heart racing on arrival and a silent auction with prizes donated by our suppliers

A truly original approach and an unfaltering desire to maximise fundraising had a remarkable effect. Guests at this memorable evening learned about fine wine, heart health issues and the joy of laughter, which led to a phenomenal amount of money being raised. It also cemented a strong and enduring relationship between First Data and their guests.

"Our objectives were to raise funds for our client's key charity, develop our personal relationship with them and have some fun - not objectives that obviously sit that comfortably with a "healthy" theme! BEYOND were very thorough in their planning. Their creativity in linking a healthy heart with fun, sociable activities led to an enjoyable and thoroughly successful event. The feedback and thanks I received from our clients are testimony to that. Cheers!"
