SIR – I am writing to thank your readers for the support shown so far for the Yorkshire and the Humber British Heart Foundation (BHF) shops’ Spring Clear Out campaign.
To mark the official start of spring, BHF shops recreated Van Gogh’s iconic tulips image from donated stock to encourage locals to think about having a clear out. Using a quarter of a tonne of donated items, the creation measured 20m x 20m and included everything from clothes, shoes and books to toasters, rugs and even some sofas!
BHF shops are encouraging people to de-clutter their home this spring and donate all their unwanted items using its free collection service. Whether you’ve got a few bags of clothes or a three piece suite, BHF shops will pick up everything for free.
From defibrillators to heart support groups, your donated items will help raise vital funds to fight heart disease. For larger furniture and electrical items, book online at bhf.org.uk/free, or call 0800 9153000 to arrange a collection for any items, from unwanted books, shoes and CDs to sofas and TVs.
Samantha Mulgrew, area manager for BHF shops Yorkshire and the Humber
