Macmillan Cancer Care

What : Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer.

They are a source of support: providing practical, medical, emotional and financial support, not only for the patient but also for their family.

They are a force for change, listening to people affected by cancer and working together for better cancer care.

Their many services include specialist nursing care, information centres, cancer care centres and grants to help with the unexpected costs of living with cancer.

Macmillan Cancer Support is looking for:

- promoters – it is Macmillan’s ambition to reach everybody affected by cancer by 2010, they need volunteers to tell others about their activities and help promote local and national events within the local community.
- fundraisers – improving cancer care takes money, so we are looking for individuals to hold their own events in aid of Macmillan.
- events assistants – Macmillan needs volunteers to help their events run smoothly. They run a wide variety of events ranging from abseils and bike rides to golf days and coffee mornings.

They especially need volunteers to take part in their supermarkets collections at Tesco stores on 12-13 October 07 & Morrison stores 9-16 December 07.

Skills Acquisition : meet new friends, learn new skills or make use of existing skills, be part of a team and make a difference to people living with cancer.
