A “Toy Amnesty” is being launched across Yorkshire this Easter by the British Heart Foundation.
Parents are being encouraged to declutter their homes to help fund the fight against heart disease.
The charity’s vans will collect toys free of charge from Monday, April 8 to Friday, April 12.
Retail Director Allison Swaine-Hughes said: “As a parent I know how easy it can be for toys to end up piled everywhere – with some not played with for months. The British Heart Foundation Toy Amnesty is here to help clear out those toys that are ready for a new home and a whole new set of adventures. Call the BHF for a free collection or pop in to one of our 550 shops and donate in person – you could even pick up one of our donated toys at the same time. Every item sold in a BHF shop helps us to raise even more funds for our life-saving heart research.”
To book a free collection, call: 0808 250 0220 or find the charity’s shops at www.bhf.org.uk/shop.
