Macmillan Cancer Support Event Support Volunteer (The Great Scottish Run)

Volunteer at the Macmillan cheerpoint for the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run in Glasgow and help create a lively, encouraging atmosphere for runners as they head towards the finish line. The role is focused on supporting participants from the sidelines, making noise, and showing the community spirit that makes the event special.

Volunteers are provided with the items they need to take part, including Macmillan tabards and cheerpoint equipment such as cowbells, clappers and pom poms. The opportunity is designed to be friendly and flexible, and the organisers invite anyone who cannot make one of the standard shift times to get in touch so support can be arranged.

The event takes place at a wheelchair-accessible venue, although routes to the cheerpoint may be affected by road closures. It is part of a major charity run that raises money for people living with cancer, so volunteers play a direct role in helping the day feel positive and memorable for everyone involved.
