Key Activities / Your support is needed on event day to set up waiting area, welcome potential donors, hand out forms, answer basic questions and be on standby. As a volunteer you'd be helping in some of these ways:
- Greeting people warmly - visitors can include members of the public, potential donors, Anthony Nolan staff and patients
- Answering basic questions using your knowledge of Anthony Nolan and procedures
- Handing out leaflets and forms
- Checking people's understanding of the process and commitment involved in registering
- Dealing with issues that stop people registering, such as weight or age, with tact and confidence
- Checking application forms to make sure people have answered questions fully and given their consent
- Labeling saliva kits and forms and help donors give their samples
- Attending training events and keep up to date with guidelines and best practice
You also have the option to be trained to deliver talks in schools in your local area.
