Description

Leukaemia Research is the only UK charity devoted to finding a cure for leukaemia and other blood-related diseases.

Our chief volunteer opportunities are administrative roles within the Head Office. These roles include data entry, filing and assisting in large mailings and we need a commitment to volunteer for at least a couple of months.

We also have a large number of events where we need volunteers on an ad hoc basis. These include sporting events where we need volunteers to help with marshalling, water stations, handing out medals and giving general encouragement to participants. We also have several formal events at the Royal Albert Hall where we need help selling programmes and assisting with collections.
