Cancer affects us all in different ways. We know it can be difficult. Big C is here, across our county, to support anyone affected by cancer in any way.

We are currently looking for Volunteers to join our Support and Information team at our centre based in Kings Lynn.

Volunteers are an integral part of the day-to-day running of our Support Centres. Our Centres offer a variety of cancer-related information, a wide range of practical and emotional support, a place to relax with a cup of tea, and the opportunity to talk to the trained Centre staff if needed.

Volunteers can get involved with meeting and greeting visitors to the centre, providing a supportive and listening ear to our service users and making refreshments. 

Big C's Core Values are Respect Empathy Support Trust Honesty. They provide a benchmark for behaviour across the organisation. If you share these values and want to join a small, supportive and friendly team, please get in touch.
