A new way to celebrate the everyday, meaningful, and impactful things that volunteers, supporters and people with lived experience do to support Macmillan and people affected by cancer.

We want everyone who gives their time to Macmillan to feel appreciated for everything they do, both big and small. That’s why we’re introducing a new recognition scheme, Macmillan Moments. The initiative is designed to celebrate the everyday, meaningful, and impactful things people giving their time do to support Macmillan and people affected by cancer. 

Anyone who gives their time to Macmillan can be recognised for a Macmillan Moment, at any time of year. Whether they’ve helped someone living with cancer to feel less alone, hosted a coffee morning, volunteered with one of our corporate partners, or given their time in some other way. 

Everyone who is put forward for a Macmillan Moment will receive recognition and will be given their 'moment' where we celebrate them. They will be sent a personalised thank you in the post, as well as being celebrated across our online channels.

How to submit someone for a Macmillan Moment

If you know someone who is making a difference through giving their time to Macmillan, you can now submit them for a Macmillan Moment on AwardForce. We’ll be celebrating anyone who’s been submitted for a Macmillan Moment every 3 months. We can’t wait to celebrate the variety of incredible things that people who give their time to Macmillan are doing every day. 

If you have any questions or need any support with making a submission, please speak to your Volunteer Manager or email VolunteerAwards@macmillan.org.uk.
