Campaigns Ambassadors give their time and experience to political campaigning. It is varied, empowering and rewarding. Our community of volunteer campaigners come from different backgrounds and generations, from 18 to 90 years of age. They help improve cancer outcomes for all by building relationships and influencing politicians to advocate for national and local policy change.
We ask you to commit to just a few hours every month. Campaign activities are flexible and mostly done from home or in your local area. We hold regular online events, and occasionally full day events in person, where volunteers can meet politicians, other Campaigns Ambassadors and the teams behind our campaigns.
