Fatima Whitbread takes on her next challenge for our Shops!

Fatima press-ups BagathonWe're asking you to join in with the Great British Bag-athon challenge by pledging to fill up bags full of your lovely things.

Fatima Whitbread is supporting our Shops latest stock donation campaign, the Great British Bag-athon. We're asking everyone to join in this year and take part by filling one bag with lovely things or setting your own Bag-athon challenge to raise as many bags as possible. Each bag is worth on average £20 to our Shops, so every bag really does make a difference and helps to fund our life saving work.

Even Fatima Whitbread is taking on the challenge, Fatima says: “You’ve heard of a marathon and a triathlon, now it’s time to take on the Great British Bag-athonWe want everyone to join in by filling up a bag full of lovely things. Or you can take your own Bag-athon challenge with friends, family and colleagues to fill many bags to donate to your local Shop.

“I love taking on new challenges and clearing through all my clothes, books, CDs and DVDs will be a big task but I’m excited about getting involved! I’m hoping to fill at least five bags but even filling up one makes such a difference and helps the BHF continue its life saving work.”

You can take part by signing up, popping into your local BHF Shop and finding out more or by just donating bags full of your lovely things.
