-About Bowel Cancer UK: We’re the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity. We’re determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. We support and fund targeted research, provide expert information and support to patients and their families, educate the public and professionals about the disease and campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care. -Role Summary: This role is part of our wider awareness programme and is crucial to meet our strategy aims of increasing awareness and understanding of bowel cancer across the UK. Our aim is to provide accurate information and advice about bowel cancer signs and symptoms. This flexible opportunity enables you as a volunteer to represent Bowel Cancer UK both nationally and at a local level, by delivering PowerPoint presentations (standardised template created by Bowel Cancer UK) either virtually over zoom or to your local community (i.e. community groups and workplaces). We encourage volunteers to add their own experience of bowel cancer when delivering these talks: we believe that people with experience of bowel cancer, either personally or through a family member or friend, are uniquely equipped to raise awareness and deliver these talks. We have a variety of roles available within our awareness program so please apply and we can discuss these with you. A great opportunity to help and make a real difference. All volunteers are greatly appreciated. For more information please email: volunteer@bowelcanceruk.org.uk or telephone 02079401760.
