Haveneers

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak we have temporarily closed our centres and are not currently taking any applications for new volunteers. 


Become a Haveneer

Welcome to our amazing team of volunteers – or ‘Haveneers’ as we like to call them - who work together to increase awareness and raise funds for Breast Cancer Haven.

We want it to be as easy as possible for you to volunteer for us. Whether you have an hour a month, or a day a week to donate, we really appreciate you wanting to support women with breast cancer.

You’ll find lots of information on what you can expect as a Breast Cancer Haven Volunteer and how to get involved in our Haveneer Information Pack.

We have many volunteer opportunities available, including:

Events organiser

We want all our volunteers to feel part of something special and once you've signed up to join the team you'll receive all the necessary training, support and information you need to get 'Haveneering' as soon as possible. 

As a 'Haveneer'

  • You'll enjoy meeting new people in your community and be part of the Haveneer family
  • You will receive a full induction before beginning as a Haveneer
  • You will be sent a monthly newsletter with upcoming volunteering opportunities
  • We will invite you to our quarterly Haveneer events
  • You will be recognised and thanked for your support

What we need from you

  • An enthusiastic approach and genuine interest in the work of Breast Cancer Haven
  • As a Haveneer, we ask that you follow Breast Cancer Haven’s policies and procedures at all times and participate in training as required. You can find all our policies and procedures here.
  • Breast Cancer Haven is committed to safeguarding the wellbeing of all service users, employees or volunteers who are involved in or affected by our work. All children and adults, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, have the right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse and the right to be treated with respect and dignity. Read our Safeguarding policy here. 
  • We ask that you update us with any change of personal details as soon as possible
  • We ask for you to keep Breast Cancer Haven’s core values in mind when in your Haveneer role - these are to be authentic, accessible, compassionate, and person centred.
