Volunteering with our fundraising team

We’re always looking for new people to join our team as volunteers, so that we can make our fundraising events the best they can possibly be. Whether helping out at our national events or chipping in at a local community fundraiser, you’ll be part of the team who make these such special occasions for everyone.

Fundraising volunteers help us with:

  • event support
  • collection box and distribution
  • cash counting
  • general office support (data entry, envelope stuffing)
  • advice and care to supporters fundraising for Sue Ryder
  • giving talks about Sue Ryder.

Cheerpoint volunteers

Volunteers can cheer from our Sue Ryder Cheerpoints at the noisiest spot on the route, spurring on our runners and giving them extra motivation to cross that finish line.

Post-race volunteers

You could give runners the biggest "Congratulations!", "Well done!" and "Welcome back!" after they have passed the finish line. We chat to runners about their inspiration for running for Sue Ryder, asking how the race was for them. It's also a good place for friends and family of runners to meet up on the day.

Community events

Each year our fundraising team and supporters work tirelessly to raise the money needed to run our vital grief support and end-of-life care. We couldn’t do this without the support of our volunteers, and there are plenty of ways you can get involved. Whether that’s volunteering with one of our local fundraising teams, or organising your own activity.
