Take part in this year’s Give up Clothes for Good campaign
In 2004, Cancer Research UK and TK Maxx joined forces to launch what has since become the UK’s biggest and longest running charity clothes collection partnership.
From 1-30 April 2012, Give Up Clothes for Good will call upon the nation to clear out its wardrobes, and drop off quality unwanted clothes at any TK Maxx store or Cancer Research UK shop.
The campaign has already raised an impressive £10million since its launch in 2004, and the £2.5million we hope to raise from this campaign will fund more vital research into children’s cancer.
Demand for quality items in our shops always outstrips supply and with each bag worth up to £30, the more people who clear out their wardrobes for Give Up Clothes for Good, the more we can raise for our life-saving work.
With your support we can continue to help even more children survive. Find out more about Give up Clothes for Good.
