With the incidence of cancer rising in our country, the demand for our services is far greater than our hardworking staff team can manage. Our volunteers are therefore the backbone and lifeblood of our organisation, carrying out invaluable work in all aspects of our programme.

Please Note:

  • CANSA volunteers are not paid
  • CANSA volunteers do receive training relevant to the area they wish to become involved in
  • Preference will be given to Volunteers with a valid driver’s license and their own transport
