The charity has appealed for over 7,000 volunteers. They are being asked to commit to a three hour stint e.g. 9am-12pm, 12pm-3pm or 3pm-6pm.
Those selected will receive a detailed volunteer brief in advance of the collection event, along with other communications in the run up to the activity, and a branded T-shirt to wear while volunteering. They will also be given a dedicated Cancer Research UK contact with whom they can discuss any queries they might have on the day.
