When it\u2019s time to say goodbye to your preloved furniture, what if it could do more than just take up space in storage or end up at the tip? Instead, it can help fund groundbreaking research to save and improve lives. That\u2019s exactly what happens when you donate through our partnership with British Heart Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re moving on a well-loved sofa, a table full of memories, or a wardrobe that’s no longer your style, that furniture still has value. And by passing it onto British Heart Foundation, you\u2019re turning it into hope for families affected by cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n

At Oak Furnitureland, we believe that every home holds stories, and so does every piece of furniture. Through our partnership with British Heart Foundation<\/a>, you can give those pieces a second life while supporting vital research into cardiovascular disease. It\u2019s easy, impactful, and completely free.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

When you buy new furniture from us, you can choose to have your unwanted items collected by British Heart Foundation<\/a>. They\u2019ll be resold in one of its charity shops, where the proceeds help fund lifesaving research, and support families affected by cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n

Why your donation matters<\/h2>\n

Cardiovascular diseases affect 7.6 million people in the UK and account for over a quarter of all UK deaths. But with your help, that can change.<\/p>\n

By choosing to donate your preloved furniture, you’re not only keeping it out of landfill, you’re helping BHF power advances in cardiovascular science and healthcare that will help them achieve their vision of a world where everyone has a healthier heart for longer.<\/p>\n

Together with customers like you, we\u2019ve already helped raise over \u00a3185,000 in donated stock value, and diverted nearly 35 tonnes from waste \u2014 the weight of almost six African elephants*!<\/p>\n
