A CHARITY shop which raises money to research ways of tackling heart disease is holding an open day for prospective volunteers.

People can find out about volunteering opportunities for The British Heart Foundation at its shop in Bromley High Street between 10am and 4pm on July 1.

The charity hopes to recruit around 100 new volunteers from the borough.

Fundraising volunteer manager for the BHF in Bromley Joanne Howe said: “Volunteers are essential to the work of the BHF.

“Without your help, we would not be able to save lives through pioneering heart research, provide care for patients through our network of nurses and Heart HelpLine or provide valuable education on health and lifestyle.”
