Business donations
Donating goods to Yorkshire Cancer Research is a great way for businesses to dispose of returns and end of line stock, whilst freeing up space for new ranges. It also reduces waste, and prevents the use of landfill.
Your donations will enhance your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy and are a tax-efficient way of supporting us - If you donate goods that your business makes or sells, you can claim the cost of these goods in your business accounts.
