A third of people are now storing more entertainment items online

A third of people [36%] are now storing more of their books, music and films online and one in four [26%] have downloaded one of those items in the last month, according to a new survey from our Shops.

Almost half of people [45%] say they have an entertainment collection of over 200 items, yet almost a quarter [23%] admit they haven’t looked at any of these items lately. Half of people [49%] revealed that they are keen to get rid of their unwanted hard copies.

As part of the BIG Entertainment stock appeal this month, our Shops are encouraging people to take a look through their collection and lose the things they don’t love anymore. We love the things you bring and are always looking for saleable items.

Actress and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Anita Dobson, has joined in this year’s campaign by clearing out her entertainment collection and donating unwanted books, CDs and DVDs. BHF Shops are hoping people will follow suit this month.

Retail Director, Mike Taylor, says: “If you haven’t touched your book collection for months or you’ve replaced your CDs with MP3s, it’s time to donate! We love the things you bring; your donations are the lifeblood of our Shops and every item helps us continue our lifesaving work.”

So delve into your collection, have a clear out and play your part in the BIG Entertainment appeal by donating to your local BHF shop today!
