Retail Shifts The planned closure of around 150 BHF charity shops over the next two years signals a shift from physical retail to digital fundraising. This creates opportunities to offer omnichannel fundraising platforms, e-commerce enablement, and store-to-online conversion strategies that maintain donor touchpoints.

Circuit Partnerships The Circuit national defibrillator network is a high-visibility asset developed with NHS England and St John Ambulance. This presents sales opportunities in corporate sponsorships, employee volunteering programs, training services, and branded safety initiatives that align with CSR goals.

Tech Readiness BHF uses Salesforce and SAP for donor management and operations, indicating readiness for data-driven fundraising. There is potential to provide integrated analytics, campaign automation, CRM optimization, and donor stewardship services to improve ROI.

Scale Partnerships With substantial revenue and a large workforce, BHF can support multi-year, high-value partnerships and sponsored research programs. Marketing and sponsorship solutions, impact reporting, and grant management platforms could help unlock larger gifts and strategic collaborations.

People Engagement A large employee base and active supporters offer opportunities for employee giving programs, corporate volunteering, and events-driven fundraising. Providing engagement platforms, volunteer management tools, and event tech could deepen donor relationships and reduce acquisition costs.
