Fundraising volunteering

Everything we do at Macmillan we do to help people living with cancer to live life as fully as they can. We simply couldn't do this without the support of our fantastic fundraising volunteers who help raise funds to support our vital work.

Donations make up 98% of our annual income and enable us to provide the physical, emotional and financial support that people with cancer need. Whether you’re helping at a collection, cheering on our brilliant fundraisers at an event, or supporting promotions in your community, your time and enthusiasm makes the world of difference.

As a fundraising volunteer, you could be:

• helping at water stations or handing out medals at running events or events like our Macmillan Mighty Hikes
• fundraising with a bucket collection in a town centre, theatre, concert, football match, music festival or in a local store
• promoting Macmillan locally or online by delivering flyers and posters, or posting on social media
• cheering on runners or cyclists at events across the UK, from the Edinburgh Marathon to the Great South Run.
