I’M writing to thank your readers, who throughout the month of September turned their unwanted stuff into life- saving research for the British Heart Foundation’s Bag It.Beat It. campaign.
Thanks to the overwhelming support from South West locals, BHF shops across the county have received an impressive 61,763 bags of quality items, helping reach our nationwide target of over one million bags!
Over 15,000 people die each year with cardiovascular disease in the South West, but with donations to Bag It. Beat It. campaign, the BHF will be able to fight harder to reduce this figure.
Debbie Cheeseman
Area Manager at the British Heart Foundation
