Beatson Cancer Charity organises a number of events through the year which couldn't take place without the help of enthusiastic and helpful volunteers.
Current Opportunities
Please see below for details of the volunteering opportunities we have available:
Run the Runway (Saturday 8th November 2025)
Run the Runway is returning this year… with an exciting early-morning twist!
The event will take place at Prestwick Airport on Saturday 8th November 2025, starting at 6am. This unique challenge gives runners the unforgettable experience of racing along the runway as the sun rises, with the atmosphere lit up in true Team Beatson style.
We are looking for volunteers to help at the event and to cheer on all the participants. Your energy and encouragement will make a huge difference in creating an incredible atmosphere for runners taking on this one-of-a-kind challenge.
If you would like to volunteer, please do get in touch by contacting volunteer@beatsoncancercharity.org
Volunteering at Events
Tasks could include making up goodie bags or producing signage in our office in the preparation stages or distributing promotional flyers and leaflets in your local area. On the day, roles will vary with each event, but could involve selling raffle tickets, holding a collection bucket, registering participants or manning a cheer station.
We have a number of brilliant annual events like our Ladies Lunch, Sporting Dinner and Off The Beatson Track as well as a wide range of events every month. They are all really good fun and we are sure we have something to suit everyone.
The time commitment varies for each event. Event preparation activities are usually during office hours, but events can take place on weekdays, evenings and weekends. You can sign up to any event that suits you.
Our events are also a great way for teams of volunteers from local businesses to show their support for Beatson Cancer Charity.
