Cancer Research UK Avis 

Very disappointed that it’s all about the money.
Would never bother to get involved again on ANY level.

I’m a 40 a day smoker, I was hoping to love you.🤦🏼‍♂️

Mr. Mustafa Behrem is a Research Assistant of Research and Department working with One Herb Laboratory Ltd, One of the leading Bio Pharmaceutical Companies here in England. He is looking for a reliable businessman/individual here in UK to represent his company in sourcing some basic raw material used in the manufacturing of high quality Anti-Viral Vaccines for Cancer treatment and other lifesaving Pharmaceutical Products.

Ever wondered why the rate of cancer is now one in two people, which has increased dramatically over the last 30 years, CR spends very little on research, it’s wage bill is huge, the cost of raising the funds eats up a third of donations and no money is spent on educating people regarding diet, lifestyle and carcinogens. I’m in no doubt if money donated was invested in aforementioned, the rate of cancer would reduce more significantly than CR as a charity who so far can’t evidence any significant breakthroughs

I totally support the idea of supporting research and have done many charity events to raise funds and awareness of the charity , However working in my local branch and now having to ask customers if they can donate more money every time they make a purchase is not the way i feel the chArity should be heading 😢

So I tried to make a donation today at the East Ham store but I was turned away at the front door. Apparently they have too much and cannot take any more. If you're thinking of donating at any CR shop phone ahead, or better still try somewhere else. I was asked to phone a number, which turned out to be the store number, and the person I spoke with just reiterated the we-are-full message. You can jump through a lot of hoops to try and do the right thing but still not get anywhere! Appears donations are unwelcome.

I used to go to the Byres Road store every weekend, I am disappointed to know that the store has closed down!

I’ll have to travel to either the city centre or Annie’s land for my bargains now - not that I mind! I just hope the lovely pink haired manager is still within the company! She was a delight!

Just been into elm park branch. Never met such rude unhelpful staff in any charity shop. Will not be coming back.

Cruk have the best charity shops, ever shop I've been in has always been clean & tidy and friendly staff

I bought a very nice coat from CR UK (online) and didn't double check the size via the RETAILERS (MANGO) web site, but simply took CR UK's word (and measurements) at face value, that "L" was 48"...mistake, BIG mistake.

CANCER RESEARCH measured the PARKER style coat "pit to pit", and came up with 48", so when it arrived and didn't fit? I checked the MANGO site size guide.

And CR UK? when told that "L" was in fact a 42", and when asked why they don't refer to COMPANY size guides ?, said "that's the way we do it". Oh well...money on tap, so I guess they don't care how much is wasted in returns/lost sales etc.

Oh they did relist/resell it...as a 46".

I had about 100 pieces of new nappy changing large messenger bags from last year stock that I wanted to donate to THIS charity. I wanted them to pick them up as they were quite heavy - about 20 kg. I was shocked when I was told they only pick up clothes. These baby bags were retailing for about £25 in the shop. This means they rejected approimately £2500. I was rather disappointed by this. I have a shop and usually give away old seasons stock and would have been regularly donating to this charity but for this. A donation is a donation, why make a distinction between bags and shoes. Surely a begger can't be a chooser. I was drawn to this charity becasue an uncle recently died from bone marrow cancer. If they had put on their website what they accept and what they do not I would not have bothered. I have now donated them to another grateful charity.
