Sue Ryder

We support people living through the challenges of life-changing illness. We support people in our residential and day centres, day clinics, in the community or at home. We help people affected by cancer, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, stroke, brain injury and life changing illnesses.

What's in it for me?

We're asking for your time. And we're asking you to give it to us for nothing. Right?

Not quite.

We don't see volunteering as a one-way street. We get your time and know-how, but you won't walk away empty-handed. You'll get new skills and experience. Maybe even a qualification. And you'll have a really good time along the way.

Here are just a few things that you can do as a volunteer:

• support fundraising events
• work at one of our shops
• maintenance and gardening duties in our care centres
• speaking at events
• provide complementary therapies
• spend time with someone in your community

Volunteering is great for your personal and career development. At Sue Ryder you can:

• start your career in the not for profit sector
• contribute to your organisation's corporate social responsibility with employee supported volunteering
• for school-aged volunteers, start your ethical footprint in life

What can I do?

Whether you're 14 or 84, we're sure we've got a role for you. Help out at a fundraising event. Learn a new skill in one of our shops or offices. Or let us benefit from your knowledge and experience. And in return we'll give you training and support.
