Moving out? Give it...don't bin it
Published on 14 August 13
If you're leaving halls of residence or rented accommodation this September, the British Heart Foundation wants your stuff.
The British Heart Foundation is collecting across Manchester to help raise funds to stop people dying from heart disease. During June, residents donated more than 18 tonnes of items to the Heart Foundation. This is the equivalent of a fully laden double Decker bus. Across the city, the two universities and the city council donated enough items to help the Heart Foundation raise £135,200 to fight heart disease. You can help increase that figure during September.
What can I donate?
Please put the following items in your nearest British Heart Foundation bank.
- Clothing, handbags
- Shoes
- Books, CD’s & DVD’s,
- Clean and dry pots, pans, crockery
