A volunteer is “an individual who gives their time freely, by choice, unpaid, to undertake an activity for the benefit of the community/society or environment”.

Volunteers support every aspect of our work and are crucial to almost everything we do at The Mulberry Centre!  We are a friendly team and rely on the variety and diversity that our volunteers bring. Their generosity and commitment to donating their time and skills helps people as they deal with the impact of cancer on their lives.

Join our volunteer team and meet new, amazing people and get a buzz knowing you are making a difference.  You will be a much-valued part of our team, have fun, and will make new friends.

The Mulberry Centre recognises the important contribution that volunteers make to the Centre and is committed to providing a supportive environment and delivering training relevant to the roles undertaken.

Each year we undertake a survey to obtain feedback from our volunteers, evaluate the findings and take on board any concerns or ideas. The results of  the 2023 survey can be read here
