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.

Volunteer at the Great North Run and be part of the biggest and best half marathon in the world! With over 1,000 Macmillan runners on the day, we need your help to make sure every single one of them have the brilliant experience they deserve and feel well supported across the whole route. You can join us at one of our cheerpoints along the route, cheering on runners and giving them the boost they need to reach the finish line. Or, you can join the team in the Finishers Marquee, handing out refreshments and celebrating with the runners when they have finished their challenge Please note timings and locations listed are a guide and may be subject to change by event organisers.
