Event support volunteer - London Marathon

What You'll Do: 

We’re expecting 275 runners to take part in this year’s London Marathon, to help raise vital funds for our life-saving research and life-changing care. And you could be there, cheering them on and giving them the encouragement they need to get across the finish line.

 

As a volunteer, you could help by:

Making lots of noise at one of our cheer points, so ours are the loudest and liveliest

Being there for our runners, with high-fives, hugs, and a happy face

Giving words of encouragement to help our runners power-through to the finish line

Why You'll Love It: 

What do I get out of it?

  • Fun! You’ll have a great time at one of our cheer points.
  • The chance to meet new people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
  • You’ll get to attend a major sporting event and enjoy the party atmosphere.
What You'll Learn: 

How will you support me?

  • You’ll get a volunteer handbook, full of useful information about volunteering with us.
  • You’ll get a briefing, and ongoing support from the staff team on the day.
  • You’ll get a Breast Cancer Now t-shirt, and light refreshments. Sorry, we can’t refund any expenses.
What We're Looking For: 

What skills or qualities do I need?

  • Bags of enthusiasm!
  • The confidence to cheer, shout and make lots of noise.
  • Able to quickly connect with and uplift people.
