For those not ready to hit the high-street, the charity’s postal donation service is also available for smaller, quality items – simply print off a label and take items to a local drop-off point.

Alternatively, there is a wide range of items available on the BHF eBay shop.

The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on the BHF’s income, leading to research funding being cut in half and the delay of important scientific breakthroughs.

The charity is now urging the community to support its nearest shop by donating items they have decluttered while at home.

Every pound raised in BHF shops helps the charity to support those living with heart and circulatory diseases.

The Bognor Regis BHF shop is at Unit 1, 2b London Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1QU.
