These people will be our Working Wonders; part of a nationwide network of volunteer fundraisers raising money in their workplaces.
Our Working Wonders will tell their workmates and colleagues about Marie Curie Cancer Care's campaigns and events, and encourage people to get involved. Depending on how much time you want to commit, you can also choose to organise some fundraising events of your own.
Check out the Options for involvement section to see how you will be able help Marie Curie Cancer Care help people with cancer.

Who can join in?
No matter where you work you can become a Working Wonder. It doesn't matter if you work in your village Post Office, a factory, a café, a hospital, a school, an office or a garage. Whether you work for a huge organisation with hundreds of branches, or a small office with only a few people, we want to hear from you. And if you do work in a branch of a larger organisation, perhaps you can help spread the word and get the other branches on board?
How much work is involved?
We realise that everyone has different workloads and commitments. Some people will be able to spare the time to help organise fundraising events, while others will be too busy to do this and may prefer to help publicise one of our events by word of mouth.
It is entirely up to you how far you want to get involved.
Whatever you do, and however much time you can spare, we are grateful for your support.
Why involve your workplace?
By becoming a Working Wonder you will be helping us to raise much-needed funds. You will be creating a new, nationwide pool of support for the charity, helping to promote our name and our work in the UK workplace, attracting a nationwide network of new volunteers, and bringing both our charity and your workplace positive PR.
