A company that makes over £600 Million…

A company that makes over £600 Million a year and pays its CEO over £200,000 a year and apparently they still haven’t cured cancer. It’s just a massive con like religion. Anything to get your money. I hope their ceo is diagnosed with something terminal soon as karma

Terrible customer service in the…

Terrible customer service in the Catterick store, especially manager Michelle. Rude, confrontational awful service. She should be reprimanded for terrible treatment of disabled customers, won't be shopping there again. Both of the other staff present were also useless at conflict resolution. Wouldn't trust this charity with your hard earned money. Give it to animal charities instead who actually care rather than these money grabbers, regret every penny previously spent here

Horrible manager

My mum and i have both had a few negative experiences in the Holloway Road store My mum has bought items that upon arriving at home were found to be damaged, she went back straight away and had to insist to get a full refund as they were refusing completely. I went in last week and found a lovely pair of trousers from M&S, i was in a rush and had no time to try them on. I asked one lady if i could buy them and try at home and return if they didn't fit. The Mediterranean woman (possibly the manager) instantly butted in and said no refunds, only exchange that i needed to try in store. Bare in mind at this time i was wearing a pair of trousers i bought in another CRUK that i was told was okay for a full refund. I asked why and she became very argumentative. In the end i left the trousers as i was put off by the very unwelcoming shop clerk.

Zero support for their charity store…

Zero support for their charity store branches in UK being the first to cease taking donations of dvd and cds, plus computer games and records. Ridiculous. Just after I had dropped them in a lot of cds. Which presumably they threw away afterwards in the trash. They could have sent them all to CEX and got a money back donation on them all just from them to go to the charity. Poor strategy not thought through. Very disappointed. I regularly bought dvds there too!

This refers to the new Superstore in…Torquay

This refers to the new Superstore in Wren Retail Park Torquay. When this opened prices were good. Apparently the Area Sales Manager has insisted all dresses are priced at £5. Initially they varied between £3 and £5. So good choice depending on brand. Now not so. The lady on the till didn’t agree with this policy. But typically staff on the ground who know what sells are railroaded by Management. Also quite a large amount of the stock should be ragged, holey scruffy bobbly jumpers, shoes with little sole. I go there weekly and stock should be moving through if priced right but same old boring rubbish week after week.

Linwood store

I would like to write this review as I have been in and out of the Linwood shop regularly over the last few months and the staff are amazing, so helpful and the shop is so well laid out, people really need to go in for a look, the stock for spring/summer is brilliant, rugs for the garden, fake plants etc, thanks for alm you do to support Cancer research also, this is so important

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!

Cancer charity shop abuse

Cancer research shop on Lord Street, Southport - I had a horrible experience with the manager. I asked the assistant if a Jacket for £9.50 could be bought for £7.50. She asked the manager, who flew into a complete rant that they never reduce their prices under any circumstances - she was so aggressive and rude that another customer came over to me to see if I was alright and to say there was no need for that and it put her off shopping there. I know it's a charity shop. I'm shopping in charity shops because I'm on a pension and can't afford to pay shop prices. Charity should help people both ways especially at this time. When I give items to charity shops, I hope the person buying is also helped by the low price. Charity shops like Cancer research seem to be big business now and have lost their way in helping people. Regardless, I should not have been treated the way I was. Jean

Avoid these con artists

Avoid these con artists, they are misleading the masses, they are bought and paid for by big firms so they will never disclose the truth for example its known BPA can effect breast cancer, have a look at what they say about BPA

The woman should not work with public

Went to donate extremely rare engineering books that my father owned . He lost his life last Christmas through depression. The woman said they would go in the bin . So I took them from there . I explained she needed to be a bit more tactful with her words after what had happened . She didn’t care at all even after I explained the situation . Won’t be going back there again .

Went in to donate, treated like I was stealing

I went into the Shawlands branch to buy a DVD box set and at the same time donate some games and a wine rack. As soon as I entered, a male staff member told me to wait until he’d served customers, then came over, and asked “Can I ask what’s in the bag?” in a tone as if I was stealing from the shop rather than donating. I was then grilled as to whether the games I was donating were complete. He then pointed to the wine rack and said it was too big to take. I felt like The Accused in court rather than someone supplying their stock for free. I wasn’t expecting a knighthood for my donation, but genuine gratitude rather than suspicion would serve the organisation well. When I got home I found that one of the five DVDs was missing! I phoned the shop to suggest they show as much care over the quality of goods going out as they do over goods being donated, and he got very defensive, saying customers regularly steal from boxes and that he didn’t like my tone! They’ve had their last donation and last purchase from me!

Won’t go back in…

I had been a supporter of the shop in Ryde Isle of Wight for many years both donating and regularly purchasing items, they all knew my face because I was in so often. Back at the end of summer I purchased a dress which didn’t fit so had to return, then my 99 year old mother who I care for became ill and I was unable to go into town for two weeks, the manageress, Paula, said my time had run out the day before and refused a refund, she told me to write to head office who would definitely approve a refund, well I did write and they still refused! There are 11 charity shops in Ryde and this is the only one that has such a short returns policy, they were rigid and uncaring and I have never been in since, my donations and custom go elsewhere.

VERY DISAPPOINTED.

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.

Close up of Michelle - King's Lynn Support Centre Lead

Support Centre Lead

I started with Big C in November 2021 and look after the day to day running of the Support Centre in King’s Lynn.

I had been volunteering at a local Hospice in Chichester and enjoyed being able to support patients and their families. When I knew I was moving to Norfolk, I started looking to see if there was anything similar and saw the position with Big C advertised and applied. It is a privilege to work for the charity.

Tonia King, Area Centre Manager

Charitable Operations Area Manager

I look after operations to ensure our support centres can operate effectively and efficiently. I manage and develop new projects and services and have a keen interest in health equalities and end of life care.

Before joining Big C, I volunteered as an NHS Cancer Awareness Champion, a cause close to my heart after losing my Dad suddenly following his cancer diagnosis 6 weeks previously. I am one of six and following our father’s death support was difficult to find so when I saw that Big C was opening a support Centre in my hometown I could see the real benefit to patients and families. When I got the call to offer me the job I burst into tears! I have felt privileged and proud to be part of the charity ever since.

Close up of Support Officer, Frances

Support and Information Officer

I work in the King’s Lynn Centre and provide emotional support to our service users either by phone or in person and look after their wellbeing. I facilitate the Ladies, Carers and Bereavement groups and ensure that our service users have a safe and confidential place, where they can share personal experiences and feelings with others in similar circumstances.

I used to volunteer with Age UK. I loved interacting with the people I met and realised how important it was for them to have someone who would take the time to listen and talk to them, and also provide emotional support. I wanted a role where I could continue to do this and working for Big C has offered me this opportunity.

Close up of Support & Information Officer Alison

Support & Information Officer

I support people affected by cancer in person and over the phone or online. I facilitate our Ladies Breast Support Group and assist with our Ladies and Carers support groups at King’s Lynn.

I work at the Bic C to help make a difference, by actively listening and empowering people affected by cancer with the information I provide.

King's Lynn hospital joins vital breast cancer research trial

Lynn’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital has become the first district general in Europe to enrol volunteers to a vital breast cancer research trial.

The study is examining whether the disease can be detected earlier if markers in the blood can be identified in women at a high risk of developing the condition.

Other studies have provided data on genes which are a strong indicator for developing breast cancer and often lead to surgery.

King's Lynn's Queen Elizabeth Hospital

Scientists say people at high risk of developing breast cancer often undergo a double mastectomy, so detecting the disease at an earlier stage could be a major step forward to eliminate the need to have surgery.

The impact on women having this surgery can cause significant psychological issues.

Hayley Webb, Research Nurse at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, who is leading the study as Principal Investigator at the trust, said: “At the beginning, COVID overruled a lot of our lives and we had to adapt to what was the most important thing at the time, but by working as a team, we’ve managed really well.”

The QEH’s breast screening department and research teams worked collaboratively to invite every woman who was eligible to join the trial when attending their check-up.

The team have successfully recruited 12 volunteers to date in a risk free manner, by aligning appointments with mammograms in an effort to reduce the potential risks to participants.

The impact of Covid-19 meant many studies had to pause and many staff refocussed on the international priority of finding ways to treat patients with coronavirus.

However, in time, the trust’s Restart process launched and the team at QEH spotted an opportunity to get the study started.

Helen Macdonald, Chief Operating Officer for the National Institute for Health Research’s Clinical Research Network Eastern said: “It is excellent to see that, despite the challenging odds, Hayley and the team have ensured that essential research can continue and patients are given the opportunity to take part in it.

“Through the years, and recent months in particular, the strengthening of our unique research community at trust, regional and national level continues to gain momentum, putting us in the best shape to find new treatments to benefit as many people as we can.”
