About us
Who we are
Last year our Cancer Research UK charity shops across the UK raised an incredible £80 million – this wouldn’t have been possible without our fantastic volunteers.
Described by one volunteer, as ‘friendly, fun and fulfilling’, there are lots of ways to lend a hand and you can really make the roles your own! We’d love to know if you have any particular skills you’d like to share so that we can find a role that suits you.
As little as two hours a week can make a huge difference so why not sign up today and play your part right now in in helping us to beat cancer sooner?
Reasons to volunteer
All our volunteers have their own motivations for being part of the Cancer Research UK team but here’s just some of the reasons why you should sign up today!
- A chance to work in a friendly team, to make new friends and meet a diverse group of people.
- The opportunity to make an invaluable contribution to Cancer Research UK’s goal of helping 3 in 4 people surviving cancer by 2034.
- The time to develop your confidence and interpersonal skills.
- The ability to gain valuable work experience to add onto your CV and to learn new skills
- The potential of gaining a national recognised qualification (NVQ)
- The chance to gain valuable retail experience.
