Second hand items

Second-hand sale

We’re spending more time in our homes than ever before so it’s a great time to have a clear out and give your unwanted items a new home by holding a second-hand sale for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

  • Get your children to help by sorting through their toy collection and help with pricing up and selling the items.  It really is something the whole family can get involved with.

     
  • There are a number of websites you can use, such as eBay, to sell your second-hand items.

     
  • On the website you will be able to select what percentage of sale goes directly to the charity.
