Charity Ambassador

An MHA charity ambassador is a volunteer who represents MHA at various events and occasions, such as church services, fairs, festivals, and conferences. An MHA ambassador helps to raise awareness, funds, and support for MHA’s work with older people.

By becoming an MHA ambassador, you can help MHA to reach more older people in need of its services. You can also enrich your own life with new experiences and friendships. You will also gain valuable skills and knowledge that can enhance your personal and professional development.

As an MHA charity ambassador, you will be helping to raise awareness of the work of MHA within your local community. By spreading the word of MHA, you’ll inspire, educate and encourage people to get involved.

You’ll deliver presentations, attend events, and talk about MHA services available locally. You’ll actively seek these opportunities and encourage and inspire others to get involved in fundraising and volunteering for MHA. 

MHA charity ambassadors reach out to new people and inspire additional interest in MHA activities and services. This will raise the profile and ensure people in later life in your communities are aware of the local services available to support them.

Community support is vital for MHA and as an ambassador you will inspire more people to donate their time and/or money to help enhance later life for our members and residents.
