Want to introduce some lessons on cancer? Perhaps you’re teaching about healthy living, or looking to do some fundraising?

If so, then why not ask for a local Macmillan volunteer to come in and do an assembly or classroom presentation.

We are launching this exciting opportunity for schools in Hertfordshire, Suffolk and London from May 2008, so if your school is interested please email kdonaghy@macmillan.org.uk
