A Donation Station is a drop-off point where people can bring their quality pre-loved items to donate. 

When your pre-loved items are sold in our stores or marketplace, you help keep products in use for longer making more use of the energy and resources used to make them.

How to set up a Donation Station

A Donation Station is a drop-off point where people can bring their quality pre-loved items to donate. We can supply you with a Donation Station bin and other materials to set-up in any secure workplace or community location, within a 20-mile radius of one of our shops or superstores.

You could also help us to save money and make your donations go further by easily dropping your bags and boxes into your nearest shop or superstore during their opening hours.

Please do not leave donations outside our shops, as they may be taken or damaged. By calling in advance, our teams can be ready to receive your donations or direct you to a nearby shop with a larger capacity to support you.

 
Alternatively, when you have 25 bags or more ready, you can contact us to arrange a collection. 
We accept bags which are of standard 'bag for life' size (450x380x180mm) or larger than this (no heavier than 7kg). You can also donate your items in boxes if you prefer.
 
 

Don’t forget, UK taxpayers can Retail Gift Aid their donations, which is worth an extra 25% to Cancer Research UK, at no extra cost to them. A Retail Gift Aid form is enclosed in every Cancer Research UK donation bag, so if you’re not already signed up with us it’s quick and easy to do. If you’re already signed up and want to use your own bags, you can print Retail Gift Aid labels to attach to each bag.

 

It’s simple to set up and you can download these resources below.
