Micro-volunteering opportunities

Our flexible, bitesize volunteering opportunities mean that you can help us beat cancer, whatever time you can give.

With micro-volunteering, you can choose what, when and how much to do. Take a look below to see how you could get involved today. More opportunities will be added as these become available.

A little time goes a long way. And your time could help everybody live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

At Cancer Research UK Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), and the wellbeing of our volunteers is important to us.

A workforce that is diverse and inclusive will help us to reach our full potential as an organisation by supporting our people to reach theirs. We have committed networks across the organisation working to ensure that these aims are met.

We are keen to learn more and be more inclusive, so please tell us if you have any ideas on how we can make that happen. Email us at volunteering@cancer.org.uk.
