Do you have experience of terminal illness? Or have you experience of caring for someone at the end of their life?
Information and Support Voices Volunteers
Home-based volunteering opportunity for people aged 18 or older
We’re looking for people from diverse backgrounds and with a range of experiences related to terminal illness, end of life and bereavement, to join our group of Information & Support Voices Team.

Your role might include some of the following:
- Reading and sharing your thoughts on a piece of written content.
- Watching and giving your opinion on a video.
- Having a phone call to talk about your experience.
- Being part of a group discussion about a particular topic.
What you'll gain:
- Flexible volunteering – there’s no specific time commitment, and you can always turn down a request.
- Opportunity to make real changes to Marie Curie’s Information & Support for others affected by terminal illness.
- Opportunity to be involved with a national leader in palliative and end of life care.
- A supportive contact within the Information and Support team.
