Volunteer

We rely on our dedicated volunteers to help us to support patients and to campaign for improvements in health and social care.

Office based volunteers and helpline advisers

We welcome individuals with administrative, fundraising, marketing, policy or customer service skills to support our work at our headquarters in Harrow, North-West London, including our national helpline.

Ambassadors and speakers

Much of our project and partnership work involves ambassadors who may be asked to speak at an event on our behalf, to hold an information stand at a hospital or conference, or to work with our project managers to represent patients and support the delivery of our projects.

Volunteer recruitment

When volunteer vacancies arise, we will advertise them on our vacancies page, through our social media channels and via relevant websites and publications.

If you would like to express your interest in volunteering, and to be notified when we have volunteer vacancies, please contact [email protected]
