Our charity funds around £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They're all connected, and they're all under our microscope. Our volunteers help us fund lifesaving science to improve the lives of families and loved ones living with heart and circulatory disease. Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.
Do you love to snap away? Or find yourself always looking for opportunities to capture a great shot? The online sales team based at your local BHF shop has got the perfect volunteering role for you! Join them as a volunteer photographer and help take pictures of the items they are selling online. The success to online selling is the quality of the photos used to showcase the items at their best. Using the camera provided or even your own smartphone you will get plenty of support and training. You don’t need to be a pro as even a novice photographer will soon get the hang of taking the right snaps. Get the satisfaction of seeing the items you have photographed sell, knowing you are playing your part in helping us continue to fund life saving research.
