Access the Care Concierge service for free

Did you know that anyone who works or volunteers with Cancer Research UK can access free, expert advice about being a carer for an adult through Legal & General’s Care Concierge service?
The service offers a variety of support, from guidance on how to arrange care, to help with understanding the costs involved in care support, and is available to any Cancer Research UK volunteers with caring responsibilities.
Race for Life 2025

Every year, thousands of people come together on start lines up and down the country to help save and improve the lives of those affected by cancer.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our Race for Life events, and we’re on the lookout for more people to help bring this year’s events to life. Whether you’re already part of our wider volunteer community, or looking to get involved for the first time, we would really appreciate your support.
Thank you to all our Race for Life volunteers
