SIR - With National Volunteers' Week (June 1-7) upon us, I would like to thank all Macmillan's volunteers, who give up so much of their time for Macmillan Cancer Relief to fund-raise and support us in many different ways.

Macmillan's services are free of charge to anyone who needs them, and we are only able to do this because of the generosity and hard work of our volunteers. Almost everyone is affected by cancer at some point during their lives, and Macmillan Cancer Relief offers care, support and information to help people cope during this difficult time.

New volunteers are always welcome, and we try to find activities for people that match their interests and the time they can give.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering please phone 01904 651700 or log onto www.macmillan.org.uk/volunteering.
