Why Volunteer With ACT?

Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT) supports life‑changing care at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and The Rosie. Thanks to the passion of our supporters and volunteers, we help fund:

  • Cutting‑edge medical equipment
  • Specialist staff and world‑class research
  • Extra comforts that make a real difference to patients and families

When you volunteer with ACT, you’re helping improve care for people locally and supporting medical breakthroughs that have national and global impact.

✨ As an ACT Champion, you become the confident voice that brings this impact to life in your community.  

About the Role 

As an ACT Champion, you’ll be a friendly, engaging ambassador for the charity – raising awareness, sharing ACT’s story, and inspiring others to get involved.

This role is ideal if you enjoy: 

  • Meeting new people 
  • Talking about causes you care about 
  • Making a visible and meaningful difference 

✅ Full training, resources, and ongoing support are provided by the ACT team. 

This is a varied and sociable role that suits people who enjoy being out in their community, meeting new people, and making a visible difference.

What You’ll Be Doing

You don’t have to do everything – you can get involved in the activities that suit you best. 

Community engagement 

  • Sharing ACT’s work and impact with local groups or organisations 
  • Giving short talks or presentations (online or in person – training provided) 
  • Representing ACT at community and fundraising events 

Building connections 

  • Strengthening relationships with existing supporters 
  • Helping ACT reach new audiences and communities 

Every conversation you have helps raise awareness — and that awareness leads directly to better care for patients.

The Difference You’ll Make

Your time and enthusiasm help ensure Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie continue to go beyond what NHS funding alone can provide. 

Together, we’re supporting: 

  • Better patient experiences 
  • Access to specialist equipment 
  • Recruitment of leading experts 
  • Research into future treatments and cures 

What you do truly matters

Who Can Apply?

We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and walks of life. Diversity makes ACT stronger, and we value the unique perspectives each volunteer brings. 

You don’t need previous public speaking or fundraising experience — just enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to represent ACT positively in your community. 

🚗 Being able to travel locally is helpful, but flexibility and enthusiasm matter most.
