My father died from cancer when I was very young, and so I wanted to get involved in something that is involved with cancer, and I couldn’t think of a small child dying of the disease and the knock-on effect with the whole family, not just the child it’s parents it’s relatives
From volunteering I get a sense of accomplishment, I’ve liked learning about all the different projects, and I like that it makes a difference. I said to some people that volunteering is the best job I have ever had only because of what you are getting out of it, you can help people – if I can walk home and say right, I have helped someone today then I’m happy with that!

We also cover any out of pocket expenses agreed to carry out your role.
At Kidscan we rely heavily on volunteers to help us carry out our work and every minute donated is always appreciated!
