BRITISH Heart Foundation (BHF) staff and volunteers were joined by the local Devizes community last Tuesday, September 11 to celebrate the opening of a new shop, which has relocated from 21 The Brittox to 2/3 The Brittox and will help the BHF fund innovative life-saving research into heart and circulatory disease.

The new, much larger shop stocks a huge range of good quality and affordable second-hand items such as clothing, shoes, bags, toys, belts, as well as books, music and films.

Tim Reeves, area manager at the BHF said: “The opening of the new Devizes store went extremely well.

“Each item sold in the store will help the BHF fund life-saving heart research, so if you have not yet visited then please do come by to see what great bargains are on offer. We still urgently need more donations so if you are having a clear-out in the next few weeks, we would love to receive any unwanted clothing and accessories.

“Donating couldn’t be easier with our free collections service and it’s a great way to cut down on waste.

If you would rather give the gift of time, we are always in need of volunteers who can spare a couple of hours a week, so please get in touch if you are interested.”

The Devizes shop team would like to encourage people if they are in the area to pop into the shop for a browse through their wide range of products and to learn more about donating unwanted items to the BHF.

The new shop is located at 2/3 The Brittox, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 1AJ.
