Our partnership with Boots

Being told ‘you have cancer’ can affect so much more than just your health – it can affect the way you think and feel about yourself. Boots and Macmillan have joined forces to provide cancer support in your community to help you feel like you again.

Macmillan’s experience in supporting people living with cancer, combined with Boots UK’s expertise in delivering healthcare and beauty information and advice, means together we can provide easily accessible specialist cancer information and support to thousands of people on the high street and through our online support services.

Since our partnership began in 2009, Boots UK has raised over £19.3 million for Macmillan, thanks to the continuous support of its wonderful colleagues and customers.

Over the last 12 years, Boots UK colleagues have thrown themselves into a variety of fundraising events, in and out of stores, involving both colleagues and customers. From raffles and lunch-swaps to make-up-athons and pamper evenings, Boots UK are dedicated to raising vital funds to help us do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer.

Boots UK colleagues regularly take part in challenge events, including Macmillan’s Mighty Hike series, the London Marathon and events they have created themselves, such as cycling 170 miles across the UK. We are currently planning an overseas trek across the Great Wall of China with over 50 Boots colleagues in 2022.

Through the valuable support of Boots colleagues in stores, and in offices, the partnership has raised an incredible £19.3 million in the last 12 years, with many more colleagues and customers getting involved in fundraising every month.
