How your contribution will help
Our shop volunteers are helping us beat cancer right now.
In 2019/20, 14,000 volunteers gave 3.1 million hours of their time and sold items totalling £15million. These funds are helping us start new clinical trials and research treatments as we speak.
If you volunteer at a Cancer Research UK shop, you too could make a real difference to what we can achieve. Nothing we do would be possible without amazing volunteers like you.
What you will get out of it
You’ll gain important skills that are hugely valued in the workplace such as teamwork, communication, and using initiative.
Boost your CV by working towards an NVQ in Retail with Derby College, and we'll provide you with a reference.
It will allow you to get involved in your local community and to meet new friends.
Our friendly CRUK team will be there to support you all the way.
The minimum age for volunteering is 18. If you’re aged between 16 -18 you may still be able to volunteer.
