Donate goods

Our charity shops are always in need of good quality donated items to sell and help fund our life-saving work.

This is the perfect excuse to clear out your unwanted clothes, books, DVDs, CDs or games.

Find out what you can donate, then simply drop your items into your local Cancer Research UK shop.

Receive a discount voucher for Electronic Arts when you donate your unwanted Christmas presents!

We are asking computer game enthusiasts and their friends and families to start clearing out their wardrobes, as we partner up with online games retailer, Electronic Arts (EA).

In return for each donation of unwanted items from 27 December to 27 February, you will receive a discount voucher for 10% off your next purchase from EA Store.

Bring your unwanted Christmas gifts and items you have been hanging onto for too long to your nearest Cancer Research UK shop to claim your voucher.

Organise a Donation Station

We're always on the look-out for volunteers to set up Donation Station collection points where colleagues, friends and family can drop off bags of items to sell in our shops.

It’s simple to set up a Donation Station at work, school or in your local community and help raise bags of money for Cancer Research UK.

Sell with eBay

Make a profit - and make a difference at the same time. Sell your unwanted items on eBay and donate a percentage of the profits to Cancer Research UK.

Your donated items could be worth more than you think

Last year we raised over £52 million from generous donations of clothing, household and entertainment items made to our shops.

A bag of donated clothes could sell for £30 – enough to buy two lab coats to protect scientists from harmful chemicals, and their experiments from contamination.

"We all know that times are tough, but this is an easy way to help raise money for charity.  Each bag you donate could be worth up to £30, and this will go towards helping to fund Cancer Research UK’s important work."
