Committee roles

What is a Relay For Life Committee?

Relay For Life events are set up by an Event Chair and supported by a group of dedicated volunteers who help organise the Relay event.

What will I be doing?

As part of a Relay Committee, you'll help raise money for Cancer Research UK, bring people together, increase cancer awareness within your own community and highlight ways to reduce the risk of cancer.

You'll also get all the support, training and advice you need from a dedicated Cancer Research UK contact.
