BHF shops
Wales stores re-open today
Our British Heart Foundation (BHF) Cymru shops and stores are set to reopen today (Monday 9th November), following our temporary closure during the Welsh firebreak.
As the Welsh lockdown draws to a close, our shops and stores will be back up and running across Wales from 12pm.
Our shops in Wales have been closed for just over two weeks, following the temporary lockdown across the country.
Adam Fletcher, Head of BHF Cymru, said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming our customers in Wales back this week, so that our shops can continue raising vital funds for heart research. Our number one priority will remain keeping our staff, volunteers and customers safe, as we reopen our doors.
"We hope that Welsh communities will show their support as we reopen by visiting their local shop, helping us to support the 340,000 people living with heart and circulatory disease in Wales and address the current shortfall in our research funding.”

Your support is needed more than ever
The Covid-19 crisis has had a devastating impact on the BHF’s income, cutting our research funding in half and putting future life saving discoveries at risk. We are urgently appealing for your support as we reopen our shops and stores across Wales, helping us raise vital funds at a time when hearts need help more than ever.
All of the BHF’s 616 shops and stores across England remain closed until Wednesday 2nd December in line with English lockdown rules that came into force last week. Our shops in Scotland and Northern Ireland remain open at this time, with measures in place to keep staff, volunteers and customers safe.
