About British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation shop in North Shields sits within the Beacon Centre on Bedford Street, at the heart of the town's main shopping area. As part of the BHF's national charity retail network, it raises funds for the charity's work supporting research into heart and circulatory diseases, which affect millions of people across the UK. The shop relies on donated stock and volunteers, offering shoppers an affordable and sustainable way to buy while contributing to life-saving medical research.

The shop stocks a broad mix of preloved and new goods, including clothing, shoes, and accessories for adults and children, alongside books, music and media, toys, homewares, and bric-a-brac, plus small gifts, greeting cards, and BHF pin badges. Donations of good-quality items are welcomed. This general-goods format complements the charity's separate furniture and electrical stores elsewhere, with the North Shields branch focused on everyday clothing, books, and household finds for local bargain-hunters.
