S4C Volunteer Programme

The Sail 4 Cancer Volunteer Programme was formally launched in October 2002 and played a key role in ensuring that the charity grew to meet its targets over the last 5-6 years.
And it worked! In 2008, partly due to the support of their volunteers, Sail 4 Cancer was able to offer close to 800 respite days on the water to over 250 patients and their families.

In the years to come, Sail 4 Cancer aim at progressively raising the bar and have already set the objective of 1,000 respite days for 2009. The scope of the fundraising activities supporting this purpose naturally lead the charity to the next stage of its volunteer programme requiring a more structured organisation and management.

Volunteers have been so far and are still seen as one of Sail 4 Cancer's greatest assets. Being a volunteer is one of the many ways you can support Sail 4 Cancer and your time is invaluable to us!

Sail 4 Cancer is always looking for enthusiastic and motivated volunteers to help out with a wide range of tasks from office-based administration to helping raise funds at various events:

• Advising or working on the charity's website design
  
• Inputting data
  
• Manning stands
  
• Selling raffle tickets
  
• Distributing leaflets
  
• Collecting donations
  
• Representing Sail 4 Cancer during sailing trips with patients

From offering your professional expertise or just your time, it all counts!

So, keep watching our 'Upcoming Volunteering Opportunities' space!
