Drop your collections at your local shop
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.

Thank you!
We rely on the generous support of the public and local businesses donating both pre-loved items and end of line stock. Here are just a few things which your donations could buy:
25 bags
could fund a lab technician for one week.
75 bags
could fund our team of nine cancer nurses and their amazing work with people affected by cancer for one day.
300 bags
could fund the Add-Aspirin trial into stopping cancer from coming back after treatment for one week.
