Suffolk Mind Ambassadors

Suffolk Mind’s Ambassadors are all volunteers, supporting our charity at events, in the media and through their own networks. Our Ambassadors have all been invited to the role due to their unique commitment to Suffolk Mind and their diverse skills.

Ambassadors represent Suffolk Mind’s values publicly and act as advocates, connectors, and champions for the charity.

Our Ambassadors come from different backgrounds and support Suffolk Mind’s team through expertise as volunteers in another service, as business people, influential members of our community, or as inspirational fundraisers.

Their role is varied but you’re likely to see them:

  • Representing Suffolk Mind at events
  • Speaking about our services at networking events or on their social media
  • Advocating for us in the media
  • Thanking our supporters at cheque presentations or local community events
