How to donate your pre-loved items

We have shops and superstores across the UK all needing stock.

Some of the items that you can donate are:

  • 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 which is at the discretion of our transport and shop teams.

Donate your end-of-line or unsold stock and samples

This is a cost-effective way to clear storage space. Or you can set up a donation station in your office.

Donations could be worth more through Gift Aid

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.

Items we can’t accept

While we appreciate all donations, there are some we cannot sell and we have to pay for their disposal.

Donation Stations

Help Cancer Research UK save money on collection costs

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.

Collections

Furniture collection

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.

Home collection

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.
