There could be a heart attack test hidden in your jewellery box
| Instead of taking up space, your unwanted, odd bits and even broken jewellery could be helping fund lifesaving medical research into heart disease. National heart charity Heart Research UK are appealing for as many of you as possible to donate your unwanted jewellery to their Treasure Your Heart Appeal.
It’s easy peasy, all you need to do is get in touch with Heart Research UK and request a donation envelope, fill it up with your donated jewellery and send back by FREE post. Alternatively, if you live near a Beaverbrooks Jewellers, you can visit a store to collect an envelope, fill it up and pass it back to them to collect on behalf of Heart Research UK. Everything you donate and collect from friends, family and colleagues will be auctioned off and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Heart Research UK. The money raised from the jewellery you collect will be spent back in your community, ensuring you are helping hearts near you. Absolutely any jewellery will help; damaged, broken, odd pieces, gold, silver, beads, costume jewellery and even watches! The more jewellery Heart Research UK receive, the more money will be raised to go towards their pioneering medical research and local heart health projects, such as their latest project which is developing a test to predict heart attacks in patients. Heart disease is still the UK’s biggest killer and with women three times more likely to die from it than breast cancer, we must continue to support their pioneering medical research to change these frightening statistics.
