"Having graduated from university, I was keen to be involved with the charity while gaining valuable experience in the charity and events sector.”
Main responsibilities
"I carried out a variety of different tasks from daily administrative duties to recruiting and briefing volunteers. I helped with the organisation of Bobby Moore Fund events such as the David Seaman Safe Hands Charity Golf Classic and The Thames Path Walk".
"I worked in a busy office, to tight deadlines which I believe has given me greater confidence in myself. The thing I enjoyed the most was feeling challenged on a daily basis and contributing to real projects."
Highlights of my internship
"I gained a lot of experience in event organisation and managing communications with Cancer Research UK’s corporate partners. I now have first-hand experience of the hard work and long hours that go into organising the charity’s events."
Tips for future interns
"You should be prepared to work in a fast-paced environment on daily basis and maintain a committed approach. I believe that if you embrace all of the challenges and opportunities that come your way then you will flourish in the role!"
