We’re dedicated to expanding our volunteer program to create more opportunities for individuals like you to get involved and make a difference.

Whether it’s a skill you’re eager to share, a volunteering idea you’re passionate about, or a suggestions to enhance our mission, we want to hear from you! Your input and creativity can help us shape a better future for people living with Pelvic Radiation Disease (PRD).

You will need to be based in the UK and have access to a computer or a laptop and have basic IT skills. You will receive induction, training and ongoing support for all volunteer roles.

Quote from our volunteer, Dafydd. Saying: I have experience and knowledge of Pelvic Radiation Disease (PRD) and feel that I can help fellow patients to feel less anxious about what they are going through. If there is anything that I can do to help other people, then I would like to do it. I know that as a PRDA Volunteer I can help people in so many different ways; doing so also aids my own mental recovery.

There are lots of opportunities to contribute
