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 us as an Event Support Volunteer and be a part of an amazing team on the day, and if you love the experience you might be inspired to join the team at other events in the future.

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.

Don't miss out on London Marathon 2026 - taking place on Sunday 26 April 2026! Join one of our 5 cheerpoints along the world famous marathon route as we turn the streets green to cheer on our amazing runners, whilst also supporting us to raise vital awareness of our services and charity too. Please note timings may be subject to small changes nearer the date and exact details will be shared in the volunteer briefing (sent about 2 weeks before the event date).

What will you be doing?

Cheerpoint

  • Join our biggest ever group of volunteers to cheer Macmillan runners towards the finish line as you soak up the amazing atmosphere

  • Can’t do one of our shift times but would still like to volunteer? Get in touch and we can help!
  • £2million raised for Macmillan in 2025 – help cheer on the runners and encourage their amazing fundraising in 2026
