Volunteer Awards

The Macmillan Volunteer Awards celebrate our amazing volunteers around the UK. These regional and national awards offer the chance to say a huge thank you for the time, care, expertise and commitment our volunteers so generously give.

Congratulations to our 2020 winners

We’d like to say a big thank you and well done to all our regional and national award winners in 2020. While many of us are unable to come together to celebrate their outstanding achievements right now, their commitment to help people with cancer live life as fully as they can continues to inspire us all. To our winners and to all our volunteers, your support is valued now more than ever.

Postponement of 2021 Volunteer Awards programme

We previously ran the Volunteer Awards as an annual programme but, after consulting with key staff and volunteers, including our National Volunteer Awards Panel, we decided to make the difficult decision to pause our Volunteer Awards programme for 2021. You can read the explanatory letter from the National Volunteer Awards Panel co-chairs here.

The Volunteer Awards are an important part of our volunteer recognition, but volunteers are telling us that a more low-key and universal approach to thanking volunteers would be more welcome in the current climate.

Given the continued uncertainty created by the coronavirus pandemic, we are not yet able to say when the Volunteer Awards will return. However, we will update this page when we are clearer.

If you have any questions about Macmillan Volunteer Awards in the meantime, please drop us a line at volunteerawards@macmillan.org.uk.
