Prospecting Volunteer

We are a ‘small but mighty’ charity with one big ambition: to stop leukaemia devastating lives. Over the next 10 years we want to help save and improve the lives of more people with leukaemia through finding and funding life-changing research.

Despite progress in recent decades, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a blood cancer every 16 minutes and survival rates are among some of the worst of any cancer. And the physical and psychological impact can be lifelong.

Over the next 5 years we plan to increase our investment into ground-breaking world class research and policy development focused on improving access to kinder, more effective diagnosis, treatment and care for leukaemia and other blood cancers.

To do this, we are embarking on a period of significant growth, investing strategically to grow our income,
profile, influence, and engagement and impact.

We are a close-knit team, who are all passionate about Leukaemia UK and putting those affected by the disease at the heart of everything we do. We are all focused on “keeping it real” with pragmatic, practical solutions, as well as ensuring that our charity gets the funding it needs to continue to help those diagnosed with leukaemia and other blood cancers.

If you are looking to gain admin research or fundraising experience, then this is the role for you! We offer support and guidance to help you develop and broaden your skills. Not only that, but you will be making a difference. You’ll be giving invaluable support to a small charity that aims to stop leukaemia devastating lives. We offer supportive supervision and reimburse expenses.

From us you can expect all the laughter you can handle, as well as great challenge and support. We may not be about the corporate life here, but we are all about the delivering exceptional expertise and making a real change to people’s lives.
