I'M writing to invite your readers to join me in turning unwanted items into life-saving research this month for the British Heart Foundation’s Bag It. Beat It. campaign.
Over 15,000 people die each year with cardiovascular disease in the Southwest, but with donations to Bag It. Beat It. campaign this September, the BHF will be able to fight harder to reduce this figure.
I’ve donated to my local shop and I’d encourage everyone to get involved this September and do the same. Simply fill a bag with unwanted clothes, shoes, books, handbags, DVDs, CDs, bric-a-brac and children’s toys, to Bag It. Beat It!
For more information and to find your local BHF shop visit www.bhf.org.uk/bagit or to book a free collection call 0808 250 0024.
Best wishes,
Arlene Phillips
Director and choreographer and former Strictly Come Dancing judge
