Current volunteering opportunities
Our Community Group network brings together volunteers who are passionate about beating blood cancer to raise funds and increase awareness across their local communities.
By joining or establishing a Community Group, you can become part of a growing network across the country that is raising money and helping more people understand blood cancer and the amazing progress that is being made every day by Blood Cancer UK’s funding and work in research, treatment and care.
Community Groups will support patients, survivors and their families and raise funds for Blood Cancer UK by organising collections, fundraising activities and events whilst also receiving donations on our behalf. Community Groups are a central part of our organisation and make a real impact by engaging people at a local level.

We need your loudest voice to cheer on everyone taking part and especially those helping Blood Cancer UK to raise the funds we need for research into all types of blood cancer.
Your support is vital for giving participants that extra boost to complete their challenge.
Key activities:

- Have fun and enjoy being part of our team
Our team will provide you with a briefing pack prior to the event, this will include details for transport, meeting points and everything else that you will need on the day.
We’ll give you everything you need to cheer on our participants – clappers, cheering sticks, banners and whistles– as well as a free Blood Cancer UK t-shirt.
Helen's experience
"I volunteer for Blood Cancer UK because it’s a fantastic charity and I want to give something back and help others who receive a blood cancer diagnosis.
I've learnt so much about blood cancer, the ever-progressing treatments. Meeting other ambassadors and volunteers and being able to contribute to various tasks has been great.
Join us! Together we are stronger, and we will beat blood cancer!"
