Give the gift of your time to help support childhood cancer research.

Volunteer your time today and make a brighter tomorrow

As a small organisation, volunteers are vital to our success. Without volunteers, much of the work we do would not be possible. Donating your time is a rewarding and effective way to become more involved at a grass roots level of our charity. You can also meet new people, create new friendships, learn new skills or share your existing skills.

Bringing together university students, volunteers and corporate volunteers, volunteering with The Kids’ Cancer Project gives you the opportunity to collaborate on skilled volunteering projects.

As well as meeting families, staff, supporters and other enthusiastic volunteers, you will gain networking opportunities and create potential pathways to employment.

If you’re interested in getting involved, get in touch with The Kids’ Cancer Project by completing the form below.
