Volunteering

We simply couldn’t do what we do without the incredible support of our volunteer network.

Our amazing team of volunteers bring a wide variety of skills and experience to our work, from raising funds and awareness, to organising events and challenges and managing general administration.

Volunteering with the Ella Dawson Foundation will make a big difference to those young adults and families that we support and it can make a difference to your own wellbeing too. Volunteering will enhance your CV, help you gain confidence, make a real difference and shape new friendships - all while having fun.

If you would like to get involved with a passionate, enthusiastic and friendly committed team then we’d love to hear from you.

Trusts and Foundations

Why Trusts and Foundations are important

We currently do not receive any government or statutory funding for the work we do. Therefore, donations from trusts and foundations play a vital role in funding the wellbeing support programmes that we offer. Philanthropic contributions to the Ella Dawson Foundation have a direct impact on the wellbeing of young adults, and their families, living with a cancer diagnosis.

What a donation means to us

For us, a partnership with Trusts and Foundations is about shared goals, values and missions and we value every Trust and Foundation that support us. The funding gained from Trusts and Foundations is vital for us to deliver our Feel Well, Eat Well and Move Wells programmes, take a closer look via our Support For You page.
