THE British Heart Foundation (BHF) and Diabetes UK are appealing for enthusiastic volunteers in Evesham to help out with a collection weekend at the local Tesco store

The collections will take place on June 13 and June 14, with the aim of raising thousands for the BHF and Diabetes UK, as part of the major national charity partnership between the two organisations and Tesco.

BHF and Diabetes UK are recruiting thousands of volunteers across the UK and in Worcestershire they are looking for volunteers in Evesham in particular, to help out at the Big Collection event.

Peter Shorrick, Diabetes UK Midlands Regional Manager, said: “By joining us at the Tesco Evesham store you can play a vital part in helping people live longer, healthier lives. Cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes are both serious conditions that can shorten lives. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Your support will mean that we can help millions of people."

Anyone interested in volunteering for the Big Collection should email BigCollection@tescocharitypartnership.org.uk or phone 0345 123 2399.
