Description:
Tayside Cancer Support offers the opportunity for anyone affected by cancer in Tayside to receive emotional, social and practical support, either on an individual basis or in a group setting.
The charity has been in existence since July 1994, and is made up of an Executive Committee of voluntary Trustees, one part-time paid employee and approximately twenty volunteer befrienders plus other people who support our events. We work with cancer patients, their families, carers and friends. We do this alongside healthcare professionals and other charities and support groups to provide vital support and information.
We are funded through donations and fundraising events, and we spend the majority of our income on complementary therapies for our clients in the form of counselling or other therapies. We pay subsidised rent in our offices, one part time salary and lastly refreshmentsfor our drop in cafes and to keep our volunteers going!
Anyone can utilise our services who, either has cancer or is supporting someone on their cancer journey, e.g family or friends. They don’t need a specific referral, they can just get in touch. There are no costs associated with our services.
Support we need
We have big ambitions to grow our support to help more clients throughout Tayside and the surrounding area and therefore we need to raise our profileand in turn raise more funds. We are looking for support with marketing and building our community and network on a volunteer basis. We are open to how many hours a week but we just require regular commitment and consistency to ensure that projects get completed and we reach our marketing and fundraising targets. The role will ideally encompass the following but we are very open to any conversations if your skill set is similar to this and you feel passionate about what we do:
