Call for creative, fun furniture

THIS autumn, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) is calling on the nation to take on its Makeover Challenge by giving their homes a fresh new look using items bought at BHF stores.

From upcycling a pre-loved piece of furniture to refreshing a whole room or space, the BHF is encouraging interiors enthusiasts, bargain hunters and those on a budget to get involved.

Simply head to your nearest BHF home store in the South East to find items that will give your home a seasonal update. Then share the new looks on social media with the #BoughtatBHF hashtag.

Offering furniture and electrical goods, new and used home wares and stylish homes accessories, every item sold in BHF stores helps raise money to transform the lives of people living in the UK with heart disease, stroke, vascular dementia and diabetes.

Each year, heart and circulatory diseases kill around 21,000 in the South East and currently 940,000 people in the region are living with them. It’s essential that we continue to accelerate research into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat these terrible conditions.

BHF furniture and home stores offer the perfect solution for students, first-time buyers and savvy shoppers seeking affordable homeware, with sofas from £95 and wardrobes from £40.

To find out more and for your nearest BHF store head to www.bhf. org.uk/makeover.
