❤️ Furnt x British Heart Foundation: Giving Furniture a Second Life with Heart

Jul 25, 2025Cherie R

At Furnt, we believe beautiful furniture shouldn't just look good — it should do good, too. That’s why we’re proud to announce our ongoing partnership with the British Heart Foundation — a collaboration rooted in sustainability, community spirit, and giving back where it truly matters.

Whether it's a sideboard, a dining table, or a bedside cabinet looking for its next home, every item donated can make a real difference — not just by reducing waste, but by helping fund life-saving research across the UK.

 

🪑 What This Partnership Really Means

At Furnt, this isn’t just a tick-box exercise in corporate social responsibility — it’s a chance to be part of something meaningful.

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) funds life-saving research into heart and circulatory diseases — the UK’s biggest killer. By donating gently used furniture, returns, or surplus stock to BHF shops across the country, we’re helping generate vital income to support prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

But the impact doesn’t stop at medical research. Every piece of pre-loved furniture sold through the British Heart Foundation:

  • Reduces landfill and promotes responsible reuse

  • Creates affordable homeware options for families and individuals

  • Supports local employment and volunteer training opportunities

This is a partnership rooted in purpose — because furniture should do more than fill a room. It should help change lives.


♻️ Championing Circular Living, One Piece at a Time

At Furnt, we believe that stylish, well-made furniture should never come at the cost of the environment. As part of our commitment to responsible design, we’re proud to support the circular living movement — where products are reused, re-loved, and kept out of landfill for as long as possible.

Our partnership with the British Heart Foundation helps make this a reality. Every donated Furnt piece — whether it’s a sideboard, armchair, or coffee table — gets the chance to start a new chapter in someone else’s home, instead of ending up as waste.

Thinking of replacing a Furnt item? Or just giving your home a seasonal refresh?

  • You can donate gently used furniture to your local BHF shop

  • They’ll collect it for free (if it meets their resale standards)

  • And all proceeds go towards funding life-saving heart research

It’s good for the planet, good for your community, and good for your soul.

 

🏠 A Second Home for Every Piece

We design furniture to last — timeless shapes, solid craftsmanship, and finishes that feel just as good in five years as they do on day one. But tastes change, spaces evolve, and sometimes furniture deserves a new story.

Through this partnership, your old dining table might become part of someone else’s first flat. That coffee table might sit at the centre of a new family home. It’s furniture with feeling — extending its life, extending its meaning.

 

📦 How You Can Get Involved

Whether you're a Furnt customer, an interior designer, a landlord, or simply having a home refresh, there are simple ways to support our partnership with the British Heart Foundation:
