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

In 2008/2009 Cancer Research UK spent £355 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 up to £30, so every bag you fill will make a valuable contribution.  

Here’s how your bags could add up:

• 20 Bags could be worth £600 – this could cover the cost of one person taking part in a clinical trial testing chemotherapy before and after surgery, and the antibody drug Vectibix, to improve survival for bowel cancer patients.
• 250 Bags could be worth £7500 – this could buy a special safety cabinet, enabling scientists to carry out crucial experiments with cells in culture, free of the risk of contamination from air-borne germs.
• 1000 bags could be worth £30,000- this could fund one cancer information nurse for 8 months. Our experienced cancer information nurses provide a confidential service for anyone with concerns about cancer.
