Quality items needed to fund heart research

I want to encourage your readers to keep the British Heart Foundation in mind during their spring clear out this year and donate any unwanted items to their local British Heart Foundation shop to help fund life saving heart research.

It is a sad reality that there are an estimated 616,100 people living with heart and circulatory disease in Yorkshire and the Humber.

The BHF funds over £100 million of research across the UK each year into fighting these terrible diseases.

Donating any good quality items to the BHF is a simple way everyone can get involved and help in the fight for every heartbeat.

We also offer a free home collection service straight to your door which can be booked through your local shop or by calling our free-phone number on 0800 915 3000. If you are a UK taxpayer you can also Gift Aid your donation which helps us to make an extra 25p for each £1 raised from your unwanted items and costs you nothing in return.

I hope your readers are able to support us this spring – there really are bags of reasons for a clear out!

To find your local shop, order free donation bags or find out more about our free collection service, please visit bhf. org.uk/bag it for details.
