British Heart Foundation records takings of £1m in England and Wales, while Salvation Army says business doubled on Monday
The British Heart Foundation and Salvation Army rang up their busiest day of sales ever on Monday as their charity shops opened for the first time in nearly four months after the coronavirus lockdown.
The BHF recorded more than £1m in sales, with furniture proving particularly popular, as customers refreshed their homes in advance of being able to welcome visitors again later this year. The Salvation Army said its sales had been double that of a usual Monday and donations had also been high.
