Lymphoma Matters

Our vision for volunteering

Our approach to volunteering is that through a supportive and empowering volunteer experience, our volunteers will make the greatest positive impact for people affected by lymphoma. We want you to feel welcome, valued and respected when volunteering with us. 

Our focus is to create an open and safe environment where you can be yourself and feel a sense of belonging. We commit to involve and support our volunteers in the spirit of our charity values and ask that you reflect these values throughout your volunteering.

We're proud to say we're achievers of the Investing in Volunteers accreditation.
 

I love to volunteer as it gives me a sense of purpose and fulfilment. I feel I'm making a difference and most of all connecting people heart to heart.

Rachel, Lymphoma Action volunteer
