Organise a Donation Station

Help raise bags of money for Cancer Research UK – without asking for a single penny!

Donation Station

Our charity shops play a huge role in raising money for our research and we always need high quality goods to sell.

We are looking for energetic volunteers to organise Donation Stations to encourage the people around them to donate items that we can sell in our shops.

What your bags can do

Cancer Research UK spends over £250 million pounds on world-class research each year. Virtually all of this money comes from individual donations so every bag you fill is crucial.

1 bag approximately = £30
This is how your bags could add up:

  • If you donate 15 bags it could be worth £500 – enough for us to buy around 42,000 glass slides to study samples under the microscope.
  • If you donate 30 bags it could be worth £1,000 – enough for us to fund one woman's participation in a trial testing whether a drug could help prevent breast cancer in women at high risk of the disease.
  • If you donate 100 bags it could be worth £3,000 – enough for us to support one of our PhD students for a month as they train to become an independent scientist.

Organising a Donation Station is simple

From local yoga classes to big corporations, Donation Stations can be set up anywhere that a group of people want to be involved – everyone's contribution will help beat cancer.

Just allocate a Donation Station collection point and ask everyone to bring in a bag of good quality items they no longer want.

We'll provide everything you need to run your Donation Station, including friendly advice by phone or email.
