Volunteer for Sue Young Cancer Support
Sue Young Cancer Support provides excellent service and support to cancer patients from the communities of Leicestershire and Rutland from the time a diagnosis is made. Lots of local and national cancer charities focus solely on the patient, sometimes forgetting that the diagnosis has a huge effect on family members and carers too. Sue Young Cancer Support extends support in all services to family members and carers, providing a lifeline during a time of emotional and physical upheaval for all concerned.
We rely on support from donations and fundraising but also from volunteers, who offer their valuable time, skills and expertise to make a difference to cancer patients in the local community.
We would not be able to offer many of the services we do without the kind and generous support of our volunteers, so we are always looking for more volunteers to join our team and assist us with our work. Volunteers are always needed in the following areas.
