About the role

Make a difference in your community

Thanks to our dedicated supporters and volunteers, we’ve been at the heart of progress that has seen cancer survival in the UK double over the past 50 years.

Would you be interested in taking part in The Big Skip, or being a member of Rope4Hope? We would love you to join us as we endeavour to bring together people, up and down the country, to skip their way for life-saving research.

What you'll be doing

Below are a few examples of how you could use your skills to get involved:

  • Be a part of our first national committee

  • Co-ordinate with venues to host a skipping event

  • Be a regional lead in your area for ‘The Big Skip’

  • Use your networks to secure event locations for skipping

  • Thinking creatively to identify new ideas and opportunities

  • Communicating and relationship building with people in your community

  • Using your local knowledge to help promote fundraising events in your area

  • Encouraging others to support Cancer Research UK

What skills you'll need

Are you a team player with good communication skills, well networked with a local knowledge of your community? Do you love to socialise and meet people from all different backgrounds? We’re looking for organised, self motivated people who have the ability to delegate and a genuine passion and enthusiasm for fundraising and the work of Cancer Research UK.

Where and when

This a home based role. Part of your role will include you being ‘out and about’ in the community e.g. attending collections, booking venues, sourcing prizes, promoting your event.

What to expect from Cancer Research UK

  • An induction and ongoing support and guidance from your Relationship Manager as well as your fellow group members.

  • Advice and guidance on how to access information and resources.

  • Development and support of new and existing skills

Reasonable adjustments

At Cancer Research UK we know that having a diverse volunteer community will help us to beat cancer. We're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential. We will happily consider making any reasonable adjustments to support volunteer applications from people with a disability or health condition.

Benefits of volunteering

What you'll gain

  • Meet like-minded people who are working together to raise money for Cancer Research UK

  • Know you are helping Cancer Research UK bring forward the day when all cancers are cured

  • Be involved in a wide range of exciting fundraising activities and events
