At Cancer Research UK, we value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential.
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and cultures and will make reasonable adjustments to support applications from people with a disability or health condition.
This is a home-based volunteering role, or the surrounding areas, with some time spent in the community attending committee meetings, meeting local businesses and supporting fundraising events. Looking for people who are based or close to Barton-under-Needwood, Tutbury, Rolleston-on—Dove or Swadlincote.
This is a flexible volunteering opportunity. The time you commit can be discussed with your Local Relationship Manager, and we’ll help you find the best way to contribute.
Whether you take on a specific role or simply help when you can, every volunteer plays an important part in helping us beat cancer sooner.
