Go the extra mile as a Fundraising Ambassador

Michelle Lewis, World Cancer Research Fund supporterAs well as regular volunteers, some people go the extra mile for cancer prevention. Our Fundraising Ambassadors:

  • Share health information (such as posters and booklets) in the local community.
  • Give talks to schools, churches or local groups about our work.
  • Act as digital ambassadors by following, liking and sharing us on social media.

  • Our volunteers and Fundraising Ambassadors do a vital role for us and we want to show our thanks with:
  • Ongoing support from our Fundraising team
  • Updates on how you’re making a difference

Our promise: we’ll only ask you to volunteer in ways that work for you and we’ll ALWAYS respect your time and privacy.
