About corporate volunteering
Team building with real impact
Corporate volunteering is a fun way to bring employees together, create great memories and support life-saving research. Nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime, but all of us can support the research that will beat it.
We have lots of exciting opportunities available, and you’ll be supported every step of the way by our dedicated staff and volunteers.
Existing corporate partners
If you’re an existing corporate partner, please speak to your Cancer Research UK contact for details of suitable opportunities.
Event volunteering opportunities
Join us at our signature events
Thousands of people take part in our events each year so we can continue beating cancer. As corporate event volunteers, your team will help make it all possible. Whether setting up or supporting at the finish line, event volunteering is a great experience.

We offer both weekday and weekend event volunteering opportunities. Weekday volunteers help set up the site and course, while weekend volunteers guide and support participants on the event day.
