Student volunteering opportunities
If your students are keen to support Anthony Nolan in other ways, then we would love to have them on board. They can become ambassadors helping to save lives and learn skills at the same time. We currently have two levels of ambassador activity:
- Recruitment Champion: This is a short-term volunteering opportunity for students to raise awareness among their peers about stem cell donation. We provide T-shirts, self-print posters (with the school’s unique weblink and QR code), shareable video content and a guide to using social media to raise awareness. If your students would like to get involved, please contact education@anthonynolan.org
