Volunteer with us
As part of our volunteer network, you'll help members and their families across the country.

Underpinning the services we offer through the Fund is our network of volunteers, drawn from the ÀË»¨Ö±²¥â€™s strong scientific community.
Volunteers are a crucial part of the Chemists’ Community Fund, and do a huge amount to help members and their families across the country.

What do volunteers do?
Our volunteers:
- Help raise awareness of the CCF
- Promote the CCF through your Local Sections
- You could be the connection that revives a much-loved interest
- You could be supported through a difficult time
Could you be the connection that revives a much-loved interest? When their situation makes it difficult for someone to stay in touch with their specialist field, volunteers might find appropriate member networks or local section events to attend, or relay information from our magazines.
If you are interested in volunteering for the CCF, we currently have two roles that we are recruiting for:
- Local Section Coordinators
- Ambassadors
Please do get in touch about any of our roles, as we are always looking to expand the number of Ambassadors and we currently have Coordinator vacancies in certain areas of the UK.
What makes a good volunteer?
We know that Chemists’ Community Fund applicants want volunteers who are impartial, friendly, sympathetic and calm, with a genuine desire to help.
As part of our volunteer network, we will give you training and you will be supported by the Fund team.
We only ever ask volunteers to give what time they can to the role, and we appreciate any and all support.
There is an ethos within the chemistry community to work together because it’s the nature of the work that we do.
Noel Grabham, RSC Member and CCF volunteer
Anyone who finds themselves in trouble – lost their job, injured themselves so they can’t work… they have the right to ask the Fund for support.
