Sir,

I'd like to thank your readers for the support we had for the recent British Heart Foundation's (BHF) Cymru's Shops' Great British Bag-athon which took place throughout September.

Thanks to the tremendous contribution from people in Haverfordwest we have been able to raise over 570,000 bags across the UK as a whole - this could be worth a possible £11,400,000 for us to help beat heart disease.

Donations needn't be just clothes - good quality CDs, DVDs, books, toys and ornaments are all welcome. In addition, if you are planning a house clearout our furniture and electrical stores are always in need of good quality homeware. For those of you that have bulky items to donate or large numbers of bags, you can also book a free collection from your door by calling 0844 412 5000.

Mike Taylor,

Director of BHF Retail,

c/o 28 Cathedral Road,
