Lighthearted Entertainment!

Everyone at Cancer Research had a pretty fun filled day yesterday. Having worked for other charities in the past, I am amazed by the camaraderie at play in this Portsmouth City centre shop. The esprit de corps at Cancer Research is not something I have experienced before. Don't get me wrong, I have worked with some wonderful people in the past, especially at Oxfam in Southampton, but there was always a barrier to achieving our goals. The Management structure here wasn't conducive to making money for good causes. Each senior Manager had their own agenda, and 'Making Poverty History,' took a back seat.

The lighthearted inclusive approach adopted by Cancer Research is refreshing and I am glad to be a part of such a well meaning, hard working group of people. It may well be a cliche, but I really do feel part of a family, each of us doing our best to help each other and the cause we champion!

Mondays wouldn't be the same without volunteering and volunteering wouldn't be the same without Cancer Research!
