Organise a Donation Station

Help raise bags of money for Cancer Research UK – without asking for a single penny.

A ‘Donation Station’ is a collection point where people can drop off bags of good quality unwanted goods that we can sell in our shops.

From the office to local yoga classes, you can set up a Donation Station anywhere – everyone's contribution will help beat cancer.

How to set up a Donation Station

Register to set up a Donation Station and we'll provide you with everything you need:

• A handy guide to running your event from start to finish
• Bags for everyone to take home and fill up
• Posters to advertise your Donation Station

If you would like any further information on running a Donation Station, please call Adrian Sherwen on 020 7121 6677 or email donationstation@cancer.org.uk.

What your donations can do

Last year, Cancer Research UK spent £416 million pounds on world-class research.

Our charity shops play a large role in raising this money and we always need good quality goods to sell.

A single bag could be worth as much as £30, so every bag you fill will make a valuable contribution.  

Here’s how your bags could add up:

• 15 bags could be worth £500 – enough for us to buy around 42,000 glass slides to study samples under the microscope.
• 30 bags could be worth £1,000 – enough for us to fund one woman's participation in a trial testing whether a drug could help prevent breast cancer in women at high risk of the disease.
• 100 bags could be worth £3,000 – enough for us to support one of our PhD students for a month as they train to become an independent scientist.
