Volunteering opportunity

There are a number of ways you can get involved in helping us to deliver our services and awareness raising activity.

Whether you lend us your organisational skills to help us organise our online awareness talks or help us organise or deliver one of our online patient support events, you'll be making a real difference to people affected by bowel cancer.

Our current opportunities

Awareness Volunteers

Our Awareness programme aims to provide accurate information and advice about bowel cancer signs and symptoms through our national roadshow and via talks and stands both in person and virtually to businesses, schools, community groups – you name it! For these activities we rely on enthusiastic volunteers who themselves have experience of bowel cancer, either themselves or through a close friend or family member. If you have an experience of bowel cancer and are confident speaking to others about the disease then this role could be for you.

We're currently looking for volunteers in specific areas, where the need is highest, so please only apply if you're from one of the areas listed below:

  • Midlands: Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire
  • Scotland: Aberdeenshire, Lothian, Lanarkshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, Greater Glasgow and the Highlands
  • Wales: Wrexham and Rhyl
  • Northern Ireland
