Mum backs Shrewsbury Bag-a-thon



A mum whose daughter has overcome a serious heart condition is backing a major charity appeal.  Elaine Emberton’s daughter, Megan, was born with a hole in the heart and Elaine, who works at the British Heart Foundation’s store in Shrewsbury’s busy Darwin Shopping Centre is calling for donation to the their Great British Bag-athon.

Elaine, 45, from Shrewsbury, who works some paid hours as well as giving up more of her time to work on a voluntary basis at the furniture and electrical store.  

She is reminded residents in Shrewsbury that the local British Heart Foundation shops are always keen to receive saleable donations including clothing, shoes, books, DVD’s, CD’s and bric-a-brac.

They need good quality unwanted furniture such as sofas, dining sets and beds or electrical items such as kettles, toasters and coffee makers. They offer free collection for Shrewsbury households.
