Beaverbrooks Urges People to Donate Unwanted Jewellery
National charity Heart Research UK is relaunching its Treasure Your Heart campaign, in partnership with Beaverbrooks, which encourages people to donate any unwanted or broken jewellery. It will then be auctioned off with all proceeds going to fund research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease.
B
eaverbrooks has supported the campaign since 1997 and so far, it has raised nearly half a million pounds. Any jewellery can be donated, be it broken, odd, or just not worn enough. Envelopes can be found in all Beaverbrooks stores nationwide and dropped back in once filled with jewellery. If unable to get to a store, you can request an envelope on Heart Research UK’s website and send it back directly to them.
Heart disease is something that is close to everyone at Beaverbrooks’ hearts, as employee Mandy Ruddy had lifesaving open heart surgery a few years ago. Living a perfectly healthy and active life, Mandy never expected to have a heart problem, but in 2018 it was discovered she had been born with a bicuspid aortic valve which had led to aortic valve stenosis. She was fitted with a valve innovated only two years earlier and was back at work just eight weeks later.
