Located in the bustling Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre, the new Yorkshire Cancer Research shop offers a bright, open space with eye-catching displays and lush plants. Inside, customers can discover high-quality pre-loved items, including ladies, men’s and children’s fashion and accessories, as well as homeware, books and media.
The shop in Sheffield is the latest addition to the charity’s growing network of 17 stores, marking an important next step toward its ambition of having a presence on every high street in Yorkshire.
Visitors will be welcomed by a friendly shop team ready to help with purchases, accept pre-loved donations or help anyone interested in volunteering to support life-saving cancer research in Yorkshire.
Sarah Banton, Sheffield Shop Manager at Yorkshire Cancer Research said:
“Joining the Yorkshire Cancer Research team and helping to charity in its mission to save lives in Yorkshire is an exciting next chapter. The opportunity to be part of team dedicated to making a difference is one I couldn’t miss. I’d encourage everyone to visit the Sheffield store to uncover unique items and shop sustainably, while supporting pioneering local cancer research that benefits our community.”
Every week in Sheffield, 65 people are told they have cancer. Yorkshire Cancer Research currently funds £75 million of vital research and pioneering new cancer services, so more people in Yorkshire can live longer, healthier lives, free of cancer.
This includes Active Together, the research-backed cancer exercise treatment service funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research and designed by Sheffield Hallam University’s Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre. The service is underpinned by well-established scientific evidence that shows exercise can increase survival, improve recovery from treatment and reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
Keen football player Jamie Revill, from Sheffield, kept an active routine before he was diagnosed with Stage 3 bowel cancer in December 2024. He joined the Active Together service in Sheffield, which helped him prepare for and recover from surgery and chemotherapy.
Jamie said:
“I was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas last year, and it felt like my life was put on hold. My chemotherapy treatment was exhausting, and there were plenty of days I spent on the sofa, unable to move. Attending the Active Together sessions motivated me to get up and out of bed. As well as helping me maintain a good level of fitness, it gave me a boost when I felt mentally drained and experiencing brain fog.”
“Thanks to Active Together, I’m back playing football with my friends. I’ve seen so many people benefit from the life-changing impact of exercise, and I believe everyone with cancer in Yorkshire deserves to access a programme like Active Together. That’s why people in Sheffield should come along to the new Yorkshire Cancer Research shop here – so they can help fund this fantastic work.”
