Clear out your wardrobe to help beat heart disease

Did you know that one of the best – and easiest – ways you can help us is by donating your unwanted items to our shops?

The BHF has over 500 charity shops across the UK including our specialist books and music shops, and larger furniture and electrical stores. We urgently need good quality shoes, clothing, handbags, toys, bric-a-brac, DVDs, books and music.

Last year, our shops raised over £12.5 million to help beat heart disease. Donating your unwanted goods directly to our shops is a convenient, and cost-free, way for you to continue to support us, even in these tough financial times.

There are various ways you can donate your items:

• Pop into your local BHF Shop and drop off your unwanted items. Find your local shop or call 0844 412 5000.
• Use our book and clothing banks, located in supermarkets and car parks. Find your nearest collection point
• Door to door collections – we post you a plastic bag that you can fill and leave on your doorstep for collection on an appointed day.
• If you have larger items, such as furniture or electrical goods, please call 0844 412 5000.
