This festive season, we want to say a huge thank you for everything you do to support our mission to beat cancer. From styling windows with pre-loved fashion to getting stuck into fundraising for our in-store campaigns, you’re at the heart of our shop teams and play a vital role in keeping our shops running smoothly.
We’re so grateful for your energy, passion and commitment. Every hour you give helps to power our life-saving research – and it’s thanks to research that we’re able to make a difference for people affected by cancer. It takes all of us to make progress – thank you for playing your part.
Best wishes,
Julie Byard, Director of Trading, Cancer Research UK
