Community Volunteer

Although Lymphoma is the fifth most common cancer, it’s still not widely recognised or understood.  Your time and support can make all the difference to the success of our community activities, helping us raise awareness of lymphoma and informing, supporting and connecting everyone affected.

Example activities you can get involved with

• Attend local events in your community
• Get involved on social media by sharing messages across your own channels
• Give a talk or presentation, including virtual presentations
• Take part in fundraising activities from collections, cheque presentations to online events
• Promote Lymphoma Action’s information, events and campaigns by displaying posters and flyers across your local area.
