BC Volunteer
BC Volunteer Didn’t know which forum to ask this, so here’s hoping? Does anyone know what you have to do to become a BC Volunteer and what the work would involve once you have become one. Thanks in advance.
I’m interested in the answer to this question also.
I did mention to my plastic surgeon last year after my mast and recon that I would be willing to do peer support for any other ladies that needed advice on recons but have heard nothing so far.

Great Rewards Hello,
I am a BCC volunteer and it is really rewarding, especially when you help someone get through it, and get their positiveness backup.
I did training for it, over a period of time, then you have regular meetings and refresher training, and developments.
You can attend information day/seminars, healthy living days, with the outreach team, and raise awareness to all types of environments on both female and male, and it is great fun too, you meet so much people and it is so relaxing talking too as you are all in the same or similar boat, and environment.
I have met so much people doing this, it has kept me positive focused on life more.
There is also a Partners Volunteer support too, so if your partner wishes to help other partners family members to get through this, then he/she can become a Partner volunteer too.
I would definately give the helpline a call, and if you can go for it, and it does bring great rewards too. Perhaps you could ask to speak to one of the volunteers in your area and ask them more about it, and get all the questions and answers you need to ask and to know.
let us know how you get on.
