Volunteer with Tour de Cure

Your energy + our ambition = Faster progress towards a cancer cure

 

Together is how we will beat cancer

With big hearts and boundless energy, volunteers play a critical role in helping Tour de Cure tackle cancer. Our volunteers help in so many ways, rolling up their sleeves and giving time and talent wherever its needed.

Volunteering with Tour de Cure is a great way to make a real impact and help people affected by cancer. There’s loads of ways to get involved, from coordinating events, using your graphic design skills or helping to pack for a tour. You can choose how much time you give and how you help us.

Our volunteer community is filled with incredible, dedicated people all committed to advancing cancer research. Getting involved is rewarding and, of course, fun.

Your energy + our ambition = Faster progress towards a cancer cure

No matter your age, skills or experience, we’d love to hear from you. Register your interest to volunteer with Tour de Cure and we’ll get in touch to discuss opportunities.

Better together – hear from our volunteers

 

Our volunteers are essential to the success of Tour de Cure, helping us to raise much needed funds for cancer research, prevention and treatment. As well as benefiting us, our volunteers find the experience incredibly rewarding too. Here’s what some of our volunteers have to say:

 

“I feel privileged to be able to support such a well-regarded organisation, that cares for its own people as well as those going through cancer. I am humbled by the generosity of those who support TdC, whether through donations, riding, supporting or volunteering.”
- Dawn H.

"Most days I ride with Tour de Cure teams and encourage them to get fit and help to find a cure for cancer. It's fair to say that my life would be totally different without Tour de Cure"
- Paul E.

“I feel grateful and proud to be associated with a charity that wholeheartedly makes a significant difference for people and communities"
- Heidi B.

"Volunteering has made a difference in my life through making lifelong friends, and learning useful new skills for fundraising and riding”
- Peter H.

Meet Ann Smith

After losing her husband Kelvin to urethral cancer, Ann joined the TDC family in 2012. With a background in education – as a teacher, lecturer and business college manager – Ann plays a pivotal role in our schools awareness program. She's also the co-author of our grieving document. We all look forward to her weekly visits at TDC HQ – and her much-needed hugs! She's a regular on tour where her favourite job is driving the car at the rear of the peloton. Away from the TDC family, Ann can be found riding a camel in Rajasthan or pedalling along on her bike, Priscilla.

 

Meet Steve Thom aka 'Big Bird'

Winner of the 2016 TDC Volunteer of the Year award, Steve's volunteer hours are beyond belief. As the chairman of our Technology committee, Steve oversees our IT capabilities, making sure we adhere to best practice and performance. He also took a leading role in the development and launch of our new website. An avid cyclist, Steve is one of the guys who shows up when someone is struggling up a hill and asks, "Going well my friend?" A true gentlemen, Steve is a much loved and valuable member of our TDC family.
