Support the Direct Medics Charity Shop Challenge

Wednesday 25 March 2026

Help Direct Medics raise the most money for Cancer Focus NI and win Charity Champion.

We’re delighted to be taking part in Business in the Community's 2026 Charity Shops’ Challenge in support of Cancer Focus Northern Ireland!

On Friday, 29th May 2026, the Direct Medics team will be taking over the Cancer Focus NI charity shop in Newtownards for one day only. We’ll be going head-to-head with other takeover teams to see who can raise the most funds for the charity!
From boosting shop sales to hosting our own fundraising activities in the lead-up to the big day, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and make a real positive impact.
