Northamptonshire charity shop urges locals to have a ‘Spring Fling’

Corby residents are being urged to have a ‘spring fling to mend a broken heart’ by donating quality, preloved lounge and bedroom furniture to the British Heart Foundation (BHF) store on Elizabeth Street.

As the charity retailer celebrates its annual Reuse Revolution campaign, locals are being urged to donate any quality unwanted items to help fund vital lifesaving research.  

Matt Haselton, 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’ - bag up what you no longer love or use and donate it to us.

“It’s not just clothes. We can rehome quality homeware, electricals and soft furnishings. At the moment we are in particular need of lounge and bedroom furniture. Your donations help raise vital funds for the BHF’s research.”

“We rely on the generosity of people in Corby to keep the shop stocked. That sideboard you no longer need or that sofa that needs a new home, could help fund the next research breakthrough - and they could be exactly what someone else is looking for.”

Each year, BHF shops and stores raise millions to help fund research into cardiovascular disease. Every three minutes, someone loses their life to heart and circulatory disease in the UK. Thanks to the support of customers, donors and shop teams, BHF research is working to change that.

There are three easy ways to donate to BHF: drop items into the Elizabeth Street store during opening hours; post donations for free by printing a postage label online; or arrange a free collection for larger donations.
