Give Up Clothes For Good with TK Maxx Camberley

Since 2004, TK Maxx have raised over £22 million for Cancer Research UK’s work with £18 million supporting research into children's cancers specifically.

The **Give Up Clothes For Good** campaign runs all year round, giving people more opportunities to donate and support, raising more funds for Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens and helping to beat children’s cancers sooner. Cancer Research UK carries out pioneering research across the country to help beat children’s cancers sooner.

In the UK around 3,800 young people are diagnosed with cancer every year. That’s 10 young people every day. Thanks to research though, more children are surviving than ever before. In the 1970s more than a third survived, but now that’s three – quarters.

**So what clothes and accessories can you donate to this worthy cause?**

• Any items of clothing whether that be tops, shirts, jackets or trousers.

• Shoes and other accessories like handbags and belts.

• Also any homeware items.

Bag up your quality, unwanted clothes, accessories & homeware and bring them to the TK Maxx Camberley store!

Your donated items are sold by Cancer Research UK shops to raise much needed funds, or if they cannot be sold, are recycled. All money raised goes directly towards helping beat kids’ cancers sooner. You’ll find permanent donation points in every store so you can give up clothes for good all year round.

Claire Rowney, director of Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens says;

*Thanks to campaigns like Give Up Clothes for Good, we’re able to carry out more research to help find better and kinder treatments for young people with cancer. Back in the 1960s, only around a quarter of children with cancer survived. Today, three quarters are cured and our work has been at the heart of this. We’d love to see as many people as possible getting involved with this campaign, which will help us raise money to beat children’s cancers sooner.*

**You can donate at your local TK Maxx Camberley store situated on Grace Reynolds Walk in The Mall.**
