Opportunity image

At Macmillan we give people with cancer everything we’ve got. Do you have enthusiasm for fundraising and work well in a team? Then we would love you to join our team as an Event Support volunteer and help support everything from marathons to festivals and supermarket collections to black tie events. By sharing your skills and time, you’ll have a rewarding and fun experience, helping us to deliver an excellent experience for event participants and meet new people as part of a friendly team that makes a difference in the community. Together, we can be right there for people with cancer.

This annual art exhibition raises vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support through sale of artworks by Scottish artists. The event is now in its 20th year and for the first time since 2019, the show will be live in Edinburgh on the 5th & 6th of November 2022. We are looking to recruit volunteers to assist with the drop-off of artworks and set-up of the show, volunteers to assist while the show is open by greeting the general public, selling artworks & catalogues, assisting with our free prize draw and serving refreshments and volunteers to help with the take down of the show and collection of artworks.

If you would like to be part of our Event Support volunteer team, apply to volunteer today!
