I AM writing to extend my thanks to all of the dedicated Tesco colleagues from the Ludlow store who, from September 21 to 27, hosted a Grease-themed fundraising week in store to raise funds for Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
They raised an incredible £1,045 for the National Charity Partnership by dressing as characters from Grease and playing the movie soundtrack in store to accompany the spirit of the event. Customers were given the chance to win one of two hampers, as part of their fundraising activities.
Heart disease and Type 2 diabetes are both serious conditions that can shorten lives. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The money raised will help to fund projects across the UK which will encourage millions of people to reduce their risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes by leading a healthier lifestyle, as well as helping both charities fund vital research projects that will help to save lives.
The three-year partnership between Tesco, Diabetes UK and the BHF aims to raise millions of pounds to help save lives through helping millions of people to eat better and get active, reducing their risk of serious ill health in the future, as well as helping to fund the vital work of the BHF and Diabetes UK across the UK.
