We can't thank you enough
We’d like to thank all our amazing volunteers for the time you’ve given to help people with cancer live life as fully as they can, over the last year and during this difficult time.
Whatever you’re doing right now, whether you’ve had to pause your volunteering or not, your support is valued now more than ever.
Catch up on this year’s activities
There are still lots of ways you can get involved and catch up on any of the activities you may have missed during this year’s Volunteers’ Week:
The webinar was concluded with a Question and Answer session with Macmillan senior management. We received more questions than could be answered in the time allotted, so check out the answers to some of the questions we were unable to answer during the Q&A session.
