How your employees can support us
Get in touch
Find out how a partnership with Cancer Research UK can engage your employees and raise money for life-saving research.
At Cancer Research UK, we work with businesses like yours to help raise money for lifesaving research.
Nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime, and all of us have will have a cancer story. We would love to work with you and your colleagues to raise money, raise awareness, and create great memories.
Nominate us to be your company’s charity partner, get in touch, or speak to the team responsible about how we can work together.
Get involved in a local Race for Life
You and your colleagues can join one of our 450 Race for Life events across the country. Walk or run 3k, 5k, 10k individually or as a team, or crawl, climb and hop your way through our Pretty Muddy Obstacle Course. We’ll even throw in a 30% discount off your registration fee!
Run with Team CRUK
We can give your keenest runners places for the London, Brighton and Manchester marathons, so they can join Team CRUK in outpacing cancer. Once you're on board, you'll get personalised support with training and fundraising.
Volunteering
By volunteering with us, you will learn new skills, meet new people and will make a difference to beating cancer. From helping find hidden gems in our stores to handing out medals at our sports events, there are lots of ways you and your colleagues can get involved.
Staff Fundraising
We can support you to host your own events, whether that’s a bake sale, a pub quiz, an auction… Our enthusiastic account managers can give ideas and resources to organise successful and fun events.
Payroll Giving
Not everyone is born a fundraiser. Payroll Giving is an easy way for employees to donate to charity directly from their salary, benefiting from the tax relief. We can support you or your HR department to set up and promote a successful scheme.
Donation stations
We can help your teams set up donation stations to bring in clothes they no longer need. This can then be sold in our network of over 600 shops and superstores, destined to be a loved by a new owner. In 2022 alone, we diverted around 25,000 tonnes of pre-loved clothes to new owners – a saving of 250 billion litres of water compared to buying the same volume brand new.
