Franke staff donate pre-loved items to support Cancer Research UK



Franke has announced its support for Cancer Research UK by introducing Donation Stations at its Manchester headquarters.

The company has signed up to the Autumn Wardrobe where it is aiming to rally staff to generously donate pre-loved items which can be dropped off in one of the eye-catching pop-up bins now strategically located on site.

All collected items will be channeled to nearby Cancer Research shops or made available on the charity's online marketplace, with proceeds helping to fund vital research. Items being collected include quality pre-loved clothing, footwear, accessories and homeware. Staff have already generously donated several bags of pre-loved items to the cause.

Jeanette Ward, communications manager at Franke UK, said: "We are proud to collaborate with Cancer Research UK through these donation stations and contribute to advancing cancer research. We would encourage staff to rally family and friends to review their wardrobes and pass on any unused items to us – helping to make a positive impact in the fight against cancer.”

As part of its support for Cancer Research UK, Franke has also added battery recycling bins on site, so staff can dig out all their used batteries from home and rattling around in their desks. The batteries will then be safely recycled by Ecosurety who will then make a donation to Cancer Research's life-saving work.
