2. Exciting opportunity coming in July…

One of our most popular volunteering activities is returning in July – can you help us deliver Coffee Morning flyers in your local area to help make this year’s event the biggest and best yet? You can do this activity in your local area, wherever you live, and at a time that suits you.

Whether it’s on the school run, a dog walk or a local stroll, you can make a difference for people living with cancer by walking around your neighbourhood and delivering leaflets. Make sure you’ve signed up to join our Action Team to be notified when this goes live. 

3. Send Good Luck cards to Macmillan Fundraisers

We are looking for volunteers to write and post handwritten Good Luck cards to Macmillan fundraisers, celebrating their achievements and thanking them for raising vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

You’ll need to be in our Action Team to take part in this activity. The next round of card writing will open on the 16 June and then on the 28 July – once you’ve signed up as an Action Team member, you’ll receive a notification inviting you to join the card writing task as soon as it opens. Be quick – spaces fill up fast!

4. Expand your knowledge with our Cancer Awareness Training

As a valued supporter, your role in the fight against cancer is vital. This short, engaging learning module will deepen your understanding of what cancer is, how it develops, and the challenges faced by those affected. You’ll learn about the most common types of cancer, key treatment options, and the physical, emotional, and social impact on individuals and families. Strengthen your knowledge and continue making a difference with compassionate, informed support.

If you're an active volunteer with us, please make sure to complete the quiz and feedback form at the end. This will allow us to record your completed training in your Assemble profile and ensure your ongoing development is fully recognised.
