We have almost 600 shops and superstores across the UK all needing stock. Find out how to drop off items at your nearest Cancer Research UK shop, or arrange a home, business or corporate partner collection.
Our shops and superstores are always in need of good quality donations, such as:
clothing and footwear
jewellery and accessories
homeware and kitchenware
antiques and collectables
toys
leisure and outdoor items
furniture and electricals (in select shops and superstores)
Occasionally, due to stock supply and demand, there may be situations where we aren’t able to accept items from certain categories such as children’s clothing, books and media, which is at the discretion of our transport and shop teams.
We appreciate all donations, but we are unable to accept items which we cannot sell and would require us to pay for disposal. This includes anything dirty, damaged or with missing parts.
While we appreciate all donations, there are some we cannot sell and we have to pay for their disposal.

A Donation Station is a drop-off point where people can bring their quality pre-loved items to donate. You can then take your donation bags to your nearest shop, during opening hours. This saves us money on collection costs.
How to set up a Donation Station
Some of our superstores take good-quality furniture donations. You can call or visit your local superstore who can take a booking over the phone or in person. Or you can book online if it's easier.
We can collect from you if you're donating 25 or more bags and live within a 20-mile radius of any of our shops and Superstores.
We accept bags which are of standard 'bag for life' size (450 x 380 x 180mm) or larger than this (no heavier than 7kg). You can also donate your items in boxes if you prefer.
Please ensure all donated items are securely tied up in bags, or protected in boxes or other appropriate packaging, ready for the driver to collect before submitting a collection request
At no extra cost to you we can claim Gift Aid on the items you donate to our shops. That’s an extra 25p for every £1 sold towards funding our vital research.
Discover pre-loved finds on our online marketplaces, including eBay and ASOS Marketplace.
