Event Support Volunteer (Great South Run - 19 October 2025)

The vibrant city of Portsmouth plays host to this exceedingly popular run. It offers a 10 mile and a 5k option, making it appealing to runners of all levels including our wonderful supporters. Our small, friendly cheerpoint right by the seafront pier is the perfect opportunity to give the gift of time to Macmillan and help our runners complete their amazing fundraising challenge.

**What will you be doing?**

Cheerpoint

- Join a friendly group of volunteers to encourage our runners to the finish line.

- We will provide everything you need to make some noise and paint the path green (Macmillan tabards, cowbells, clappers, pom poms etc.)

- Can't do one of our shift times but would still like to volunteer, get in touch and we can help!

**Your impact**

- £50,000 projected to be raised in 2025.

- This could pay for the development and a 12-month licence for a custom, scenario based learning module for health care professionals to provide the best care for cancer patients. AI is used to create real conversations via scenarios, putting the learner in a safe environment to practice and receive immediate feedback.

"I like helping out for Macmillan and it gives me the passion to thrive a lot more..." - Great Birmingham Run Cheerpoint
