Sue Ryder

We support people living through the challenges of life-changing illness. We support people in our residential and day centres, day clinics, in the community or at home. We help people affected by cancer, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, stroke, brain injury and life changing illnesses.

We are trying to reduce the number of free plastic bags that we hand out to our shoppers through our BOBB - Bring Our Bag Back campaign. 

It is now our policy to ask customers whether they ‘need' a bag.  Sue Ryder is encouraging customers to bring their bag back with them and reuse it on their next shopping visit.

In 2007, we spent over £100,000 providing free plastic bags to customers.  We would like to see this money spent on providing our healthcare services.  To help customers to reuse shopping bags, we offer a range of natural fibre jute bags priced at £1.49 and £1.99.

We have launched our plastic BOBB bag for a minimum donation of 10p. Read more

Dame Judi Dench has endorsed our BOBB range!

Dame Judi Dench said: "We should all be thinking about the environmental impact of using new plastic carrier bags.  The Sue Ryder charity is doing just that and has come up with a range of reusable bags, which not only look good but save the charity money too – around £100,000 a year that will be used instead to care for more people living with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke and Cancer."
