I’m passionate about our cause and our work, the role looked amazing, and – having worked for a charity previously – I knew I’d be working alongside people who are driven, well-intentioned and supportive.

I reached a stage in my life where I needed to change what I was doing. My kids had reached an age where they didn’t need so much support day to day and I was looking for a full time role. I was really interested in third sector. 

When I saw the job it really stood out to me because I was someone who has experience of loved ones with Cancer in the family; my dad previously had cancer. It stood out as an opportunity to really make a difference and help people.

We receive a lot of letters into the Head Office from supporters. We have a lot of supporters who choose to share their stories and their losses, their experience and their story with us. We love those letters and we especially love the letters from children involved in fundraising.
