How volunteers support us

Our volunteers are at the heart of Lymphoma Action. They are involved across all areas of our work and help to deliver many of our services to make sure that no one faces lymphoma alone.

They facilitate our workshops and online support meetings, moderate our Closed Facebook Support Group, review our health information, provide feedback for strategies and developments - and much more!
