Volunteer in a York Against Cancer shop
We run two shops, which sell a wide range of beautiful gifts, greetings cards, bags, accessories and toys all sourced from high quality manufacturers. 100% of the profit from these shops goes toward helping local people affected by cancer.
Volunteering includes customer service, arranging stock and managing orders. You can volunteer in these shops:
- York Hospital (left of the main entrance), open from Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm.
- York Stadium (left of the main entrance), open from Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm.

Help out at one of our events
We run several annual and many one-off fundraising events every year, from bake sales, golf days and rock concerts to sponsored walks and runs. You can get involved by marshalling races, collecting donations, or even just baking cakes.
Volunteer driver
Our free minibus service offers invaluable support to those who need to travel to radiotherapy appointments in Leeds, and sometimes we need an extra driver and vehicle. Lend your motoring skills to a great cause with this door-to-door pick-up and drop-off service. If you do want to help out with this, we will ask you to use your own vehicle and we will cover the cost of your mileage. If you are interested, please get in touch and we will give you more information.
Assisting collections
We’re always on the lookout for shops and businesses to add collection tins to their premises. Alternatively, you could also represent us at functions and presentations.
Ask around!
If you have any friends or relatives looking for volunteering in York, please feel free to refer us. You can even set up your own social media group to help our support go further.
