Volunteers

Tuam Cancer Care group is a non-profit, charitable organization that relies on the work of almost 40 volunteers to provide support and information to people with a cancer diagnosis and their families in their Centre in Tuam.

• We ask our volunteers to be available for two sessions of duty per month and to attend a monthly volunteer support group.
• We provide initial training in listening skills, on going support and ensure that all volunteersa are rostered with a more experienced volunteer whenever they are on duty in the Centre.
• Volunteers can also help out with workshops, public education talks, support groups and administration work needed to keep the Centre working efficiently.
• We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you had a cancer diagnosis or have cared for or lost a loved one who had cancer. In these cases, however, we ask that you should be two years post treatment or post bereavement befor you get involved in volunteering.
• The Centre is committed to providing support for men with a cancer diagnosis also, so are actively looking for male volunteers.
