It’s easy to set up an event: just follow our step-by-step guide:

  • Set a date and location 
  • Tell everyone: Promote your event; use posters from our online toolkit.
  • Be prepared: Save up old shopping bags and boxes to pack your donations in. 
  • Make it fun! Keep track of donations, and see who can donate the most using our leaderboard poster.
  • Book a collection: Drop donations at your local BHF shop, or arrange a free collection.
  • Say thanks! Every donation helps, so don’t forget to say thank you! Get a certificate.

Your donations help fund life saving research.

Boost every donation with Gift Aid

Gift Aid is a government scheme that lets charities reclaim tax on donations, at no extra cost to you. By signing up to Gift Aid, your donations will be worth 25% more. So if the lovely things you bring sell for £10, we will actually receive £12.50. Download a Gift Aid form here and add it to your donation.
