Leading Northern Ireland cancer charity in volunteer appeal

Action Cancer, Northern Ireland's leading local cancer charity, have appealed for 'heroes' who may be at a loose end this spring who would like to give something back to the community. A spokesperson for Action Cancer, whose mission is to save lives and support local people through cancer awareness, prevention, detection and support, explained: ''If you are at a loose end and want more, then why not join the team at your local Action Cancer store in Lurgan. ''We are looking for volunteer sales assistants and volunteers to help sort and display our donated stock items. ''No experience is required as we offer training, out of pocket expenses and a fun friendly environment where you can make new friends and remain active while giving something back to your local community. ''With the help of our teams of dedicated volunteers our shops help raise over one million pounds annually which goes towards delivering our life saving services such as breast screening and men’s health checks. So if you are at a loose end come along and join the fun at your local store and help save lives and support people with a cancer diagnosis in your community.''
