Charity's search for
passionate fundraisers to help support a cancer free future
NORTH West Cancer Research (NWCR)
is looking for people from the Formby area, to help the charity support
cancer research and create a cancer free future.
The charity which has recently committed to funding more than £12.3million
worth of cancer research over the next 5 years, would like to welcome
volunteers from across Formby in a variety of fundraising roles.
Its aim is to create a core fundraising committee based in Formby who will
work together as a team to organise fundraising events in the local
community. Volunteers will act as regional ambassadors for the charity and
raise awareness of the importance of cancer research.
North West Cancer Research is also looking for charity champions, to take
part in fun runs, dare devil stunts and sponsored challenges, to help raise
money for cancer research.
Volunteers can give as much or as little of their time as they like and more
information on the roles available can be found
online.
Cancer remains 1 of the biggest killers in Liverpool. Latest figures show
that an average of 1300 people from Merseyside, a year die from cancer and
cancer related illnesses. The number of new cancer cases diagnosed in the
region is higher than anywhere else in England.
Anne Jackson, CEO North West Cancer Research, said:- "Cancer
unfortunately affects each and every one of us in some way. The good news
is, today, thanks to research ½ of all people in the UK who are diagnosed
with cancer survive.
But without the support of passionate volunteers, and a continuation of
funds, advances in cancer research would not be possible. Which is why our
volunteers and supporters are so important to us; they are the life blood
of the charity.
We are looking for people who have the time and ability to work as part of a
team to raise funds to help us support the best local research for a cancer
free future. Whether or not you have had personal experience of cancer we
would like to hear from you."
North West Cancer Research is 1 of the biggest, most successful cancer
research charities in the North West, and has strong links to the Formby
area, thanks to its network of fundraisers and volunteers.
The charity has a reputation of delivering high quality research at
universities in Liverpool, Bangor and Lancaster.
