Macmillan volunteers play a crucial role in enabling us to be there for people living with cancer. They show their amazing support through fundraising collections, helping people with cancer within our Buddy service, and speaking about Macmillan to others in local communities, and so much more. The contributions of volunteers at Macmillan mean everything to us.
Behind this incredible work lies carefully crafted and sector-leading training, which includes our Volunteer Handbook [PDF].
Our Volunteer Handbook is designed to help volunteers get off to the best start on their volunteering journey and to support them throughout their time at Macmillan, ensuring that they can make the most of it. As well as explaining the support available, it also outlines Macmillan's plans for the future and the vital role that volunteers play in helping us achieve them.
It also features inspiring stories about how our dedicated volunteers are supporting Macmillan and people living with cancer, how they are bringing to life our Macmillan values of doing things with heart, with strength and with ambition, and how volunteering has had a positive impact on their lives too.
The contributions of volunteers at Macmillan mean everything to us.
Our Volunteer Handbook has been recently updated to reflect volunteering at Macmillan after the COVID-19 pandemic. It contains a wealth of new and up-to-date information, so it is crucial that all volunteers are familiarised with the latest information - our promises, processes, and policies.
So, if you do happen to be a volunteer with Macmillan - whether you're a new starter or have been with us for decades - we encourage you to have a read of your Handbook.
If you are yet to become a Macmillan volunteer but would like to discover more about our excellent volunteer offer (amongst the inspiring work of our volunteers), this handbook is an excellent starting point.
Thank you for your continued support and helping us do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer.
