Cancer Research UK

I dropped off a few items over a couple of days 9-10 Nov 2022, mainly books my wife has read.I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier reception from Bettina and Wendy who also explained about the gift aid reclamation on donated items, I signed up there and then (after I had moved my car).It’s also very convenient to be able to pull up at their rear entrance doors for those heavier or bulkier items.I will be dropping off more items at some point in the future.Bettina also mentioned that any electrical items go to their Basildon store; so anyone thinking of dropping of electrical items into the Rayleigh shop, who also goes to Basildon might prefer to drop them directly into Basildon.My suggestion not the staff’s.

My mum recently passed away with cancer so we thought we would like some of her belongings to go to the cancer research charity but when my husband turned up they were less than happy and not even a thank you! We took the rest of her stuff to the Dogs trust who were very grateful and we also got a thank you!

I have been donating clothes for many years to this shop. Because of covid checked with Manager on what day would be best to bring in donations ? She told me Monday Wednesday and Friday. I went in on Friday with donations to be told by the Manageress that she already had a large amount of donations that day she pulled back a curtain and said look at this. I said don't worry I will take it back however the manageress reluctantly took my bags. Her attitude was awful and I will no longer take anything to this shop. I had a letter from this shop in the past thanking me for my donations advising me of how much I had raised sadly I will not donate to this particular branch in future.

Lots of good things to buy!

Nice range of stuff partially wheelchair accessible

Beware of the awful sad rude manageress
