Scarborough charity shop urges residents to have a 'spring fling to mend a broken heart'
Scarborough residents are being urged to have a ‘spring fling to mend a broken heart’ by donating quality, pre-loved homeware including upholstery and white goods to the British Heart Foundation (BHF) shop on Aberdeen Walk.
As the charity retailer celebrates its annual Reuse Revolution campaign, people are being urged to donate any quality unwanted items to help fund vital lifesaving research.
The store on Aberdeen Walk recently reopened and the team is eager to welcome customers and donors back.
Lee Hare, Area Manager at British Heart Foundation, said: “Spring is the season for a clear-out, so we’re asking people to have a ‘spring fling’ – sort out what you no longer love or use and donate it to us. It’s not just clothes.
“We can rehome quality homeware and at the moment we are in particular need of furniture and working electricals.
“Your donations help raise vital funds for the BHF’s research.”
“We rely on the generosity of people in Scarborough to keep the shop stocked.
“That sideboard you no longer need or that fridge you’ve recently upgraded, could help fund the next research breakthrough - and they could be exactly what someone else is looking for.”
There are three easy ways to donate to BHF:
• drop items into the Aberdeen Walk store during opening hours
• post donations for free by printing a postage label online
• or arrange a free collection for larger donations.
