Volunteer in our shops
Our 560 BHF Shops and 150 Furniture and
Electrical Stores across the UK rely on volunteer
support.
No special skills are needed, just a
willingness to help. Whether you’re serving customers, helping with
stock collections, sorting donations or window dressing, you’ll be
part of a great team.
There are some specialist roles too, in book
and music departments and the Furniture and Electrical Stores.
As well as helping to raise vital funds, our
shop volunteers help raise awareness of heart health and our
life-saving work.
Volunteering is a great way to boost your CV
and gain valuable work experience too.
Pop into your local shop and speak to the
manager, or enquire onlineand we’ll help you arrange a
taster day in a shop close to you.
Help our local fundraising
Local fundraising allows you to be flexible in
what you do and how much time you give. We’ll let you know what’s
happening in your area and you can volunteer when you’re
available.
Here’s a taste of ways you can join in:
- Fundraise – join the team at
supermarket and street collections or by placing pin badges or
collection boxes in local businesses.
- Help at BHF events - register participants,
marshal a course or give out water at one of our sponsored cycle
rides, walks or runs. Our events are normally in the evenings
or at weekends, so you can fit them around a working
week.
- Promote our essential services -
help others in your community, tell them about our Heart
Helpline and free Heart Matters membership service.
You’ll get the chance to meet other volunteers
at regional volunteer meetings or while helping out too, giving you
the opportunity to join forces and get involved as a group.
Fundraise for our Mending Broken Hearts Appeal
Why not organise your own event for our Mending Broken Hearts Appeal. Whether it’s a
dress down day, or a cake sale, you can make a difference.
We’ll send you all the information you need to get started,
including ideas for dozens of easy to organise events. We
can also help you out with materials such as posters and
sponsorship forms, to make sure you get the most from your
fundraising.
You’ll be supporting our £50million
groundbreaking research appeal and will be helping us to bring hope
to millions of people affected by heart disease in the UK.
Campaign to protect the UK's heart health
As a BHF campaigner, we’ll send you
regular email updates with all the different ways you can help us
make a difference. You'll be the first to know about any
campaigning news and ways to take action.
We believe that the combined voice of our
supporters around the UK, all committed to beating heart disease,
can be truly formidable.
Over 100,000 people helped us last year, and
it’s very easy to join in. Help us fight for a heart
healthy future for all.
