Donation Station

Donation Station A Cancer Research UK Donation Station is a very easy way to generate valuable stock for our shops. A Donation Station is simply an area where you ask staff or customers to drop off bags of unwanted items.

Did you know that every year in the UK 1.2 million tonnes of clothing end up in a landfill? Cancer Research UK are doing their part for recycling – our shops processed over 32 million items of clothing in 2008.

As well as helping to beat cancer, supporting your local Cancer Research UK shop with stock can contribute to your company's wider Corporate Social Responsibility programme by showing a real commitment to recycling.

Follow our step by step guide to this easy and green way to support Cancer Research UK

Step 1: Start by ordering a Donation Station pack. Your pack will contain a step-by-step guide, posters and donation bags.
Step 2: Put your Donation Station in a prominent place so it's accessible for all staff to drop off their bags.
Step 3: Promote your Donation Station using the materials provided in your pack.
Step 4: Sit back and watch the bags roll in!
Step 5: Once your Donation Station has closed, complete the form in the pack and write your name and your company on each bag to help us track them.
Step 6: Drop the bags off at your local Cancer Research UK shop or if you have over 20 bags of donations, you can request a van driver collection.

"It was fun, quick to organise, and a good excuse for a spring clean! Each bag can be worth £30, so we're thrilled that in just a week we donated items that can raise £3,600 to help beat cancer."
