Fiona Bruce MP supports Congleton British Heart Foundation shop with donation event


Fiona Bruce MP for Congleton organised a donation event for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) shop Congleton.

Fiona joined the shop staff and volunteers and spent time in the Congleton BHF shop at the event, after being requested to help by the Congleton BHF Shop Manager, Robin Hughes.

Fiona said: “The BHF is such a fantastic cause and the work they do is vital in the fight against heart disease. Meeting the staff and volunteers was fantastic; the BHF Shop in Congleton is fresh, bright and welcoming -why not take a donation and whilst there, buy something too! I’d urge everyone to see what they have that could be donated to help raise money for this vital work.”

Robin Hughes Manager for the Congleton BHF shop said: “We’re really grateful to Fiona Bruce for coming in, visiting our shop and organising donations to us following our request for her support. Stock donations are absolutely essential to the success of the charity, and play a vital part in fighting coronary heart disease, the UK’s single biggest killer.
Every penny of profit raised in the BHF shop goes to fund vital, life-saving research into heart disease. We’re always looking for more volunteers, so even if you can only spare an hour, pop in to find out more information. Congleton BHF shop is always looking for unwanted items such as clothes, shoes, accessories, books, DVDs etc. The shop offers a free collection service, just call 0800 915 3000 to book.
