Volunteers

Coping with Cancer services are all run by volunteers.

  • Most of our volunteers have first hand knowledge of cancer although this is NOT essential.
  • The volunteers work in Teams under the direction of a Team Leader who is also a volunteer.
  • We expect volunteers to give up to 3h per week of their time.
  • Volunteers are not paid but reasonable expenses are given.
  • Volunteers are given induction training and ongoing training.
  • To comply with our constitution, all volunteers MUST become members of Coping with Cancer, paying a membership fee of £5 per annum.
  • Counselling volunteers are qualified to at least a Certificate in Counselling and complementary therapy volunteers to a minimum level 3 certification.
