Hitachi Solutions Selects British Heart Foundation as new charity partner

Hitachi Solutions Announces British Heart Foundation as 2025 Charity Partner, Pledges £10,000 to Support Life-Saving Work

Hitachi Solutions is proud to announce British Heart Foundation (BHF) as its official UK charity partner for 2025, with a fundraising target of £10,000 to support the organisation’s critical work in the fight against heart and circulatory diseases.

This partnership holds special significance, not only because of the BHF’s leading role in cardiovascular research and education, but also because it is one of Hitachi Solutions’ valued customers.

Hitachi Solutions currently supports BHF on The Circuit – the UK’s national defibrillator network. Each year, more than 30,000 people in the UK experience a cardiac arrest outside of hospital. Tragically, fewer than one in ten survive.

The Circuit is one of Europe’s most advanced defibrillator databases, sharing real-time information with emergency services every 60 seconds to ensure these life-saving devices are visible, accessible, and functional when they are needed most.

As part of the year-long partnership, Hitachi Solutions will engage in a range of activities including:

• Awareness and education campaigns to improve understanding of cardiovascular health.

• Fundraising and volunteering initiatives across the UK.

• Internal engagement through matched giving and volunteering leave, empowering employees to make a meaningful impact.

The first fundraising initiative is already underway: a team of Hitachi Solutions colleagues has committed to completing the 54-mile from Clapham Common to Brighton Seafront on the 15th of June and has impressively surpassed its initial £2,000 goal before the race has even begun.

“Our partnership with British Heart Foundation is deeply meaningful to everyone at Hitachi Solutions,” said Christina Mackay, Head of CSR at Hitachi Solutions.

“It allows us to support an organisation that not only transforms lives across the UK but also partners with us in creating real impact through innovation like The Circuit. We’re proud to stand alongside them in their mission to beat heartbreak forever.”

This collaboration marks a continued commitment by Hitachi Solutions to driving social value through technology, partnership, and purpose-led action.
