Overview
Join us at a beautiful location in the English countryside and help us support our Pink Ribbon Walkers with every step. You don’t need any experience or special skills, just a good team spirit and plenty of enthusiasm.
This event wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers, and their support will help us to continue to be there for everyone affected by breast cancer, providing support for today and hope for the future.
At the Pink Ribbon Walk events we are expecting up to 1000 walkers to take part across 10- and 20-mile walks. You will be part of the 100+ strong on-the-day team made up of Breast Cancer Now staff, local guides and medics, and massage volunteers.
As a volunteer you’ll play an integral role in the smooth-running of the event. The route team are a friendly and encouraging face along the walk and lots of cheering and clapping is needed to keep the walkers motivated!
On event day there is a need to be available between the hours of 07.00-18.30. A singular role will not encompass all of this but different roles within the on-site team will have different timings.
‘It’s just the best day! A fabulous time which is filled with laughter, love and hope.’
– Mary, Pink Ribbon Walk Volunteer 2019
