Volunteer Hub

“I had completed fundraising events for CRUK in the past, but I knew that I wanted to help in another way.” In 2012, Steven was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma. His professional career as a Project Manager, alongside his experience of having cancer have supported him in his role as a Campaigns Ambassador.

“As part of my job I regularly have to present to and influence senior management, which has given me the confidence to challenge my MP to make real change.” “One of my most memorable volunteer experiences was at Parliament Day. It was such a good opportunity to meet such a diverse pool of Ambassadors, many of which were studying Politics at University or were volunteering to build their profile, which I think is brilliant!”

“I wanted to volunteer as I have lost people to cancer, and I want to help find the best cure to put an end to it. Sumi volunteers five days a week at our Chester shop as an Assistant Manager. “It’s ace to volunteer! You can progress yourself and learn new skills, all whilst helping a great cause.”  

Shop manager Jo adds: “My shop wouldn’t run as smoothly as it does if Sumi wasn’t here. She goes above and beyond every day for Cancer Research UK. I could go on and on about all the things Sumi does for our shop, but the list is endless! I couldn’t imagine being here without her.”

“I simply love the buzz of getting on stage to empower and engage event participants to do their best!” Sam volunteers as a stage host for Race for Life, Pretty Muddy and Shine events across the North West. She was motivated to volunteer for Cancer Research UK after losing both her mum and brother to cancer. “I know many people affected by and still battling cancer and wanted to give something back to an amazing charity.”  

“Volunteering for Cancer Research UK is entertaining, exciting and a privilege. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that I am part of an organisation that drives ground-breaking research so people can spend longer with their loved ones, and they couldn’t do it without the support of volunteers.”
