Celebrating the achievements of our volunteers

Thank you!

A huge thank you to all our incredible volunteers for everything you do to support Cancer Research UK!

Whether you’re cheering on participants at Race for Life, pricing vintage handbags in one of our shops or campaigning in Westminster – together, you play a vital role in supporting our life-saving research.

We quite simply couldn’t make the progress we do without you.

Supporter win at the 2025 British Citizen Awards

My inspiration to fundraise is simple – to make a difference. To help more relatives, friends, colleagues – of other people, and myself – see and give a smile in more tomorrows.
