Resources for volunteers
We have resources to help you feel confident when supporting people living with and affected by cancer while volunteering.
Ways we can support you
Help to understand cancer
You don’t need to be an expert to support people living with cancer, but a little understanding goes a long way.
Sign up for our cancer awareness training, read advice on what to say to someone who has cancer and browse our resources below.

Support for your well-being
We're here to support your well-being as a volunteer. If a conversation upsets you, please get in touch with your Macmillan contact or Volunteer Manager to talk it through.
You may find it brings up thoughts or feelings about your own cancer experience. If you would like to talk, call the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 (7 days a week, 8am - 8pm).
You can also visit our Key Tools resource on LearnZone, which includes tips on looking after your well-being.
