About Opportunity
CARE Volunteers provide emotional support to those affected by Leukaemia, Lymphoma and the allied blood disorders, particularly to those who have contacted our 24hr CARE Line. You will be a listening ear, someone they can open up to in times of need who will help empower them to get through difficult times. Sometimes that support will be provided by telephone; sometimes it may be on a face to face basis in the caller’s home or at the hospital. CARE Volunteers also work to raise awareness of Leukaemia CARE and provide information to patients, carers and medical professionals with regard to the services offered by the charity. CARE Volunteers are expected to arrange 2 small fundraising tasks each year, coffee morning, pub quiz etc. Our Fundraising Department will support/assist if required.
