Volunteering Opportunities – Expression of Interest
Volunteers are absolutely vital to our ability to provide supportive care services to whānau affected by cancer in our region! They are at the heart of our organisation, their impact cannot be overstated and we are incredibly grateful.
Cancer Society Waikato/Bay of Plenty has been providing free cancer services and support since the 1960s throughout Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, King Country, Rotorua Lakes, Thames, Turangi, Waikato and Taupo. We provide support care and navigator services, transport to treatment, education and advocacy, and accommodation at our Lions Lodge in Hamilton.
These services are essential. Cancer is the leading cause of death in New Zealand, with 1:3 receiving a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.
We do not receive any direct government funding, so we rely solely on fundraising, sponsorship and the support of our volunteers to enable us to provide these services at no cost.
We are always open to Expressions of Interest from community members who would like to offer their support and volunteer with us – this is a great way to give back in a meaningful way and to meet some awesome people.
Volunteer roles vary, depending on organisational needs and individual skills.
Please click on the application link to register your interest, and we will then touch base with you to speak about the opportunities available.
