If you are not sure whether your convictions are spent, guidance can be found here. If you have an unspent conviction, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t volunteer with Cancer Research UK but we’ll need to consider it when reviewing your application. If you fail to disclose an unspent conviction, or provide false or misleading information, we may withdraw any volunteering opportunity.
