Volunteer Opportunities
The County Ambassador will work with our Volunteering Coordinator to:
Support our team of local volunteers (the people who collect tools, speak on our behalf and represent us in churches and community groups
Recruit new volunteers
Promote our work locally
Help organise and run local events
Represent TWAM where opportunities arise
Seek opportunities to recruit groups to support TWAM.
This will be within an agreed area, normally the county where you live. We would like the County Ambassador to proactively look for opportunities to promote the mission through speaking engagements or local shows and events.
We would also like you to keep contact and support our other remote working volunteers. This role can offer a vital and comforting link for everyone involved. This is a great role for someone with drive, initiative and passion who wants to use those qualities to transform lives.

These will vary from person to person, but here’s a few ideas.
Promoting TWAM via free local websites and papers, volunteer fairs and community events, talks to churches and groups, placing leaflets (with permission) in libraries and doctors/dentists waiting rooms.
You will be able to manage and support volunteers through regular communication and making sure everyone has up to date leaflets and receives the volunteer e-news every month.
You will have an opportunity to speak to potential new volunteers in your area before approval by Ipswich and will be willing to visit or contact new collectors to build friendship and support.
You will work closely with the Volunteering Coordinator who will agree a regular pattern of contact. You will receive resources from us including a Volunteer speaker pack , a selection of leaflets, details of all your local volunteers, details of local supporting churches and groups and expenses guidelines and reimbursement. You will also be provided with equipment such as a projector and screen, pull up banners, Business cards and ID Card. An Invitation to a monthly Zoom meeting with TWAM staff dedicated to the County Ambassador role.
