Cancer Campaigns Ambassador - Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley
What needs to get done
- Learning how to use your passion to influence your MP (or other political representatives in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the EU) by engaging with them through emails, letters and phone calls
- Promoting our campaigns on social media to your friends, family and colleagues
- Meeting your MP (or other political representatives) in your constituency to talk about our campaigns
- Using your enthusiasm and contacts to gather petition signatures in support of a campaign
How your contribution will help
We know that one day research will beat cancer. With political action, this day will come sooner. This is because key decisions on prevention, early diagnosis and access to cancer treatments lie in the hands of the Government. With your help, you can help us persuade them to translate our research discoveries into lifesaving initiatives.
What you will get out of it
- You will be able to share your passion for beating cancer sooner with the people who have the power to make a difference
- A chance to develop a wide range of skills and improve your CV, plus gain new experiences you normally wouldn’t have (e.g. invitation to cancer/ health conferences)
- An opportunity to meet likeminded people from different walks of life
You will be reimbursed agreed expenses you incur as a result of your role
