Macmillan supporters at an event

You can help today

We couldn't provide our vital services without the people who support us.

Sign up for events, volunteer your time, become a Cancer Voice, or support our campaigns.

Or, help spread the word about the support we offer.

 
 

Take part in events here and abroad

Silhouette of a cyclistTake part in a walking, running, biking, or hiking event, here in the UK or overseas. You'll have a great team experience and know you're making a real difference to people living with cancer.

For something a bit more laid back, why not join the World's Biggest Coffee Morning - you can get involved wherever you are in the UK. Or for something different, why not try the Big Fish or one of our golf events.

In your area, dedicated fundraising teams and committees are constantly organising quiz nights, fun runs, sales and dances among many others, to help fund vital Macmillan services in your area. Find out what's happening near you.

Our campaigns

We want everyone with cancer to receive the right level of treatment and support regardless of who they are and where they live. Together we can achieve a better deal for everyone affected by cancer. Find out more about our campaigns.

Following the success of Macmillan's prescription charges campaign all cancer patients in England have been entitled to free prescriptions since 1 April. Help us spread the word to others by putting up our poster [PDF, 310kb]  in your GP surgery, local hall or workplace.
