What will you be doing?

As a County Ambassador, you will play a vital role in supporting our mission by raising awareness of our work and expanding our reach in your designated area. You will have the opportunity to work closely with local volunteers, identify new opportunities for forming local groups, and help recruit collection points for donated tools. You will assist our Volunteering Coordinator by proactively looking for opportunities to promote the mission and expand awareness of our work. This can be through speaking engagements, which can be in Church groups, Rotary groups, WI, U3A, retirement and community groups or local shows and events. We would also like you to support our other remote working volunteers, as it can be lonely working as a home based volunteer with little personal contact with TWAM.

What skills are required?
