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.

Father's Day ideas with the BHF

If you're stuck for ideas this Father's Day (15th June) then take a look at the range of Father's Day gifts in the BHF online shop.

Top picks include travel and computer accessories. Or take dad back through the years with a book of the classic old bangers he'd probably rather forget owning!

With prices from only £3.99, even young kids will be able to pick something for their dad. And all purchases will help raise funds for our important work to beat heart disease.

If dad doesn't want a gift then why not treat him to a delicious heart healthy meal or make a donation on his behalf?

Does your dad have a special heart health story? If so, then let us know and he may be featured in our blog during the run up to Father's Day.
