Volunteers

“I’ve been working in my local BHF shop in Ipswich for seven years now and I really love it.

I’ve got the best charity job in town – it’s like being in Aladdin’s cave, surrounded by all the clothes people have so kindly donated. But they’re always a bit creased when they come out of the bags, so I get to work with my steamer and they all look smashing when we hang them out on the rails. I’m very happy.

We have a lovely bunch of volunteers and we all have a good time. I like the company and at my time of life it’s so good to be doing something that’s fun and really helps people. Getting more BHF Heart Nurses is a great idea – two of my family have had heart problems and this is my way of repaying the BHF for all their help.”
