Volunteering

Our Volunteers – The Heart of Olive Tree Cancer Support

Volunteering with Olive Tree Cancer Support is a rewarding way to support people affected by cancer while becoming part of a caring and supportive community. By volunteering your time, skills, and experience, you help us provide vital services in a warm, welcoming environment.

Volunteering also offers the opportunity to:

• Use your existing skills and develop new ones

• Gain valuable experience

• Meet new people and build meaningful connections

• Be part of a compassionate and dedicated team

Below are brief descriptions of some of our current volunteering opportunities. Our roles are also listed on the national volunteering website.

Trustees

Our Trustees play a vital role in overseeing the management and administration of Olive Tree Cancer Support, ensuring the charity is well run, sustainable, and effective. Typically, this role requires 2 to 3 hours per month, including attending a monthly meeting to discuss key areas such as fundraising, events, service provision, and volunteer recruitment.

Volunteers

Can you give 1 or 2 hours a week or fortnight to help us? We need all kinds of volunteers, from front desk support to assisting with workshops and helping with community fundraisers. If this sounds like you, please get in touch with your local office to find out more about how we can use your expertise to support the Olive Tree community.

Therapists

Complementary therapies are an important part of the holistic support we offer. All complementary therapists must be fully qualified in their therapy, hold appropriate insurance, and be members of a recognised professional association. If you can donate 2 to 3 hours of your time on a weekly or fortnightly basis to support our members and their loved ones, please get in touch.
