Clear Out For a Cause

The Best Connection Raises Donations for Cancer Research UK 

Throughout November and early December, teams across The Best Connection came together to support Clear Out for a Cause – our company-wide charity initiative in aid of Cancer Research UK. 

Launched at the end of October, the campaign encouraged employees across all offices to donate pre-loved clothing, books, homeware and accessories. Many of our valued clients and temporary workforce also joined in, helping to broaden the campaign’s reach and impact. 

We’re proud to share that our teams collected over 1000 bags of Cancer Research UK donations, with the final contribution day being the 12th December. This is a remarkable achievement and a true reflection of the generosity, teamwork and community spirit across our business. 

Supporting Local Communities and a National Cause 

Clear Out for a Cause united colleagues across the UK in support of Cancer Research UK’s lifesaving work. 

Each bag donated helps fund groundbreaking research, while supplying local Cancer Research shops with high-quality items that anyone can purchase as affordable Christmas gifts. This not only supports the charity’s mission but also strengthens local communities during one of the busiest times of the year. 

Teams were encouraged to get creative with their donation boxes, involve clients and temporary workers and share updates, photos and stories throughout the campaign. The enthusiasm across the company has been exceptional – from friendly competitions to team challenges, every contribution helped us move closer to our goal. 

Many colleagues used the opportunity to refresh their spaces at home and at work, turning small decluttering efforts into meaningful support for a national cause. 

Reflecting on the success of the campaign, Neil Yorke, Director at The Best Connection, said: 

“The response from our branches has been nothing short of incredible. Collecting over 1000 bags is a huge achievement and a powerful demonstration of what can happen when people come together with a shared purpose. 

The impact of these donations will be felt not only through the vital research they help fund, but also within the local communities who rely on Cancer Research UK’s shops during the festive season. We’re extremely proud of everyone who contributed – thank you!” 

Thank You to Everyone Involved 

As we reflect on the campaign, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part – from employees to clients and temporary workers for helping us exceed expectations. 

Your generosity will help fund life-changing cancer research, support local communities and make a meaningful difference across the UK this festive season.
