What you will be doing

Play a vital part in our biggest fundraising event of the year!

The Banham Marsden March takes place on Sunday 11 May.

It can only happen due to the amazing support of our team of volunteers and you could be one of them.

The Banham Marsden March couldn’t happen without our fantastic 'army' of volunteers. We need volunteers from 8am to 6pm but most volunteers won't be required to work the whole time.

There are lots of roles that volunteers might help with on the day including:

- welcoming and supporting walkers at the start lines.
- marshalling along the route to help keep walkers safe and cheer them on.
- welcoming and encouraging walkers at our three checkpoints.
- helping provide information.
- helping hand out refreshments.
- providing support by cycling the route.
- handing out medals at the finish.
 
We run an inclusive volunteering programme. The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity is committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage / civil partnership, pregnancy / maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
 

What's in it for you?

As a volunteer, you'll get: - A t-shirt to wear on the day. - Refreshments. - An opportunity to meet other amazing volunteers. - Experience of working at a mass participation event. - The chance to be part of an incredible day raising vital funds to transform the lives of cancer patients at The Royal Marsden and across the UK. -Virtual briefings will be given before the event.
