flag Cancer Research UK closes 188 shops by 2027, shifts to 12 superstores to cut costs and boost research funding.

flag Cancer Research UK will close 88 charity shops by May 2026 and another 100 by April 2027, reducing its high street footprint from about 600 to 320 stores, due to rising costs, inflation, and changing shopping habits. flag The charity will also shut its online marketplace in early 2026, affecting up to 600 staff and 3,000 volunteers. flag It plans to open 12 new 'superstores' by 2028 to focus on out-of-town locations, aiming to raise £12.4 million over five years for cancer research. flag The shift is part of a broader strategy to adapt to economic and retail challenges while supporting affected staff and maintaining its mission.
