Volunteers
Why Volunteer With WCS?
Volunteers help us to reach and support those affected by cancer. Volunteering is interesting and varied, full of activity, chat, empathy and laughter. We rely hugely on volunteers to provide support services such as driving our service users to their hospital treatments and appointments and, in some instances, provide (pro-bono) therapies and services.
If you would like to volunteer with fundraising at our events we would love to hear from you. In addition, we are always looking for people with expertise in; marketing, PR, communications, graphic design and social media content. We would be delighted to hear from you.
Volunteers are the backbone of Wicklow Cancer Support. As a WCS volunteer, you will make an important difference to the lives of those affected by cancer. We simply could not provide the level of services that we do without our wonderful, committed volunteers.
Why Do We Use Volunteers?
Without our volunteers, we could only offer a fraction of the services that we’re able to. Funds raised go towards employing the core team of therapists and staff as well as to meet the costs associated with running our centre in Wicklow Town. In addition, administrative, supervision and training supports are provided to our volunteer network to support them in delivering professional, high-quality services to clients.

Our Volunteers
The Wicklow Cancer Support Centre is powered by the tireless volunteers who happily offer their time and efforts to make life easier for those affected by cancer. The many hours they’ve put into driving, listening, chatting, or offering any support they can, is evidence that extraordinary things happen when people join together.
