Our vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. We raise money to research cures and treatments, so we can give people more time with the ones they love. We have been funding science since 1961.
Volunteering in your local shop is a great way to share your skills. There are a variety of roles and opportunities available for you to get involved with. We have a new Homestore in Halifax and are looking for people to join our team. Online selling is a fast growing and exciting way to retail in the digital age, so if you would like to get involved in this, come join us at your local BHF shop and help create online sales listings to promote the varied items that we sell. Maybe you already know your way around online selling platforms or maybe it’s something you want to find out more about, either way you will be fully supported in this volunteer role to make sure you develop the skills and experience needed to become an expert online lister. Get the satisfaction of seeing the items you list sell for the best possible prices, knowing this will be helping us continue to fund life saving research.
YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A TRIAL SESSION AT OUR STORE IN HALIFAX ARCADE, TO SEE IF VOLUNTEERING WITH US IS FOR YOU. SEE OUR WEBSITE TO SIGN UP OR POP INTO ONE OF OUR SHOPS.
