Belfast charity shop urges locals to have a ‘Spring Fling’
14th May 2026
Belfast residents are being urged to have a ‘spring fling to mend a broken heart’ by donating quality, preloved women’s clothing to the British Heart Foundation (BHF) shop on Fountain Street.
As the charity retailer celebrates its annual Reuse Revolution campaign, locals are being urged to donate any quality unwanted items to help fund vital lifesaving research.
Sonya Conlon, BHF Belfast store manager, said:
“Spring is the season for a clear-out, so we’re asking people to have a ‘spring fling’ – bag up what you no longer love or use and donate it to us.
“At the moment we are in particular need of ladies’ clothes and accessories however we can also rehome all quality clothes, homeware, books and toys. Your donations help raise vital funds for the BHF’s research.”
“We rely on the generosity of people in Belfast to keep the shop stocked. That vase you no longer use or that top you no longer wear, could help fund the next research breakthrough – and they could be exactly what someone else is looking for.”
Each year, BHF shops and stores raise millions to help fund research into cardiovascular disease. Every three minutes, someone loses their life to heart and circulatory disease in the UK. Thanks to the support of customers, donors and shop teams, BHF research is working to change that.
There are three easy ways to donate to BHF: drop items into the Fountain Street shop during opening hours; post donations for free by printing a postage label online; or arrange a free collection for larger donations.
