Volunteering with My Cancer My Choices
At MCMC, we’re dedicated to empowering people with cancer by providing complementary therapies to relieve the side effects of cancer and its treatment. By joining our award winning team, you become an integral part of this mission, contributing directly to the positive impact and enhanced wellbeing that our complementary therapies provide to those living with cancer, and developing your knowledge and skills in a supportive environment.
We couldn’t do what we do without our wonderful volunteers. If you’d like to find out more about sharing your time, energy, expertise, enthusiasm or ideas, please get in contact.
Training & Time
Alongside your induction from MCMC at our centres, you will receive mandatory training, provided by the Royal Berkshire Hospital, which can be completed at home. You will also receive a virtual training session on the cancer patient pathway.
People are busy. Life is hectic. We understand that and appreciate any time you can give us, however great or small, it really does all help.
Regular updates
We have Volunteer training days and peer support groups to enhance our knowledge and understanding of what it’s like to live with cancer.
Therapists also receive continuous professional development to enhance the ways they help people with cancer.
Understanding & Flexibility
Some of our volunteers are currently living with cancer, or have personal experience of it.
We really do understand what you’re going through, and are as flexible and supportive as we can be.
VOLUNTEER THERAPIST

To become a volunteer therapist you’ll need to have a recognised qualification, and have completed the NHS volunteer checks, which we will organise.
