Our challenge
Our community is at the centre of everything we do. We’re committed to working with people affected by a brain tumour, ensuring they’re at the heart of everything we do. We can create real, positive change together. From diagnosis to support to treatment, we’re pushing toward one big vision: for everyone diagnosed with a brain tumour to live longer, better lives.
Our Young Ambassadors programme, for 18 – 25 year olds, is built on diversity. We welcome people living with low and high grade tumours, carers supporting loved ones, and those who have cared for someone who has sadly passed away. Partners and siblings are also welcome. Every voice counts, and every experience helps us create meaningful change.
How can you help?
As a Young Ambassador, you’ll play a big role in representing The Charity and standing up for young people affected by brain tumours. This two-year programme is open to 18-25 year olds, and gives you the chance to influence real decisions, be a critical friend, and make sure the voices of our community are heard loud and clear.
You’ll help shape the future of brain tumour care and research — all while meeting new friends, growing your confidence, and gaining skills that look great on a CV and feel good in your heart.
Across your time as a Young Ambassador, you’ll get stuck into exciting projects both inside the Charity and across the wider brain tumour community. You might work with researchers, healthcare teams, partner organisations, and other passionate young people, sometimes in person, sometimes online, all united by one mission: keeping those affected at the centre of every decision we make.
Ready to create change, learn loads, and be part of something meaningful? This is your chance.
What we’re looking for
We are seeking passionate, collaborative young adults who want to create change and improve outcomes for everyone affected by a brain tumour.
You’ll get to choose the projects you’re most passionate about and take part in a way that feels right for you. Whether you’re someone who likes speaking up in groups, prefers sharing ideas one to one, or enjoys contributing behind the scenes.
Person Specification
We welcome applications from anyone affected by a brain tumour (carers and patients), but it’s important this feels like the right time for you. By sharing your insight, you’ll help strengthen and amplify the voice of our community.
We’re looking for young adults who are:
-
Aged 18- 25 years old and based in the UK
-
Open to meeting new people, learning new skills, and being part of something meaningful.
-
Care about making things better for everyone affected by brain tumours
-
Open to sharing your story (only if and when you feel comfortable) and you respect that everyone’s experience is different.
-
Kind, collaborative, and supportive, and you enjoy being part of a team.
As a Young Ambassador, you will:
-
Use your lived experience to represent others in the brain tumour community and help shape the work we do — both inside the Charity and out in the wider world.
-
Be open to making friends, learning new skills, and making a real difference alongside other young people who care as much as you do.
-
Listen to and respect different perspectives, knowing that everyone’s journey is unique and people may face challenges that look different from your own.
-
Make sure real experiences, especially youth voice, guide research, campaigns, policy, and services, so the things we create truly reflect what young people need.
Some of the ways you can get involved include:
-
Explore and develop fundraising ideas – Get creative and help us dream up fresh, exciting ways to raise the vital funds that keep our work moving forward.
-
Create social media content – Use your creativity to help us tell powerful stories, spread awareness, and reach more young people online. Whether it’s Insta posts, videos, or LinkedIn your ideas can make a real impact.
-
Contribute to campaigns and events – Use your story and your voice to support reports, raise awareness, and even help us engage MPs and decision-makers.
-
Feed into research projects and focus groups - Help make sure research is easy to understand, accessible, and benefits the community it aims to support
-
Speak up on bigger platforms – From press interviews to conferences, media pieces, or blog posts, you’ll have opportunities to share your experiences publicly and help shine a light on brain tumours and the work of the Charity.
-
Shape services that work for young people – Be part of developing and improving the support we offer, including our Young Adult service, making sure our services are practical, inclusive, and focused on real needs.
In addition to all of this, we are very open to hearing your ideas about how you would like to contribute and get involved.
Practical considerations
This is a voluntary role with a term of up to two years, though we understand circumstances may change and you may need to step away earlier.
-
Induction: You’ll start with a 2-day induction on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th April at our office in Fleet, Hampshire
-
In-person meetings: Two further in person events will take place during the two-year programme. These have previously included training days and residential.
-
Online meetings: We’ll meet monthly on Microsoft Teams during a weekday evening
-
Other opportunities: You can choose activities that fit your interests, availability, and preferences. These will be shared via Volunteero, our volunteer app, which all Involvement Champions use. Opportunities may take place on both weekdays and weekends.
Please note, for in-person meetings, all travel, accommodation, and meal expenses are covered by The Charity. Find out more in our Volunteer Expenses Policy. We suggest a time commitment of around 1–2 hours per week, but this is flexible. You’ll receive training, regular updates, and ongoing support to help you feel confident in your role.
Wellbeing and connection
Many past Young Ambassadors say one of the absolute best parts of the programme is the friendships they build and the sense of connection they feel.
Because this role involves hearing and talking about a wide range of lived experiences, it’s worth taking a moment to think about whether this feels like the right time for you. The work is incredibly rewarding but it can also be emotional.
Application process
Complete our application below! The application form will ask for information about your personal connection to brain tumours and any skills/qualities you would bring to the role.
Additionally, you will be asked to record a 2-minute video or provide a written statement (200-300 words) answering the following questions:
Motivation:
“Why do you want to be a Young Ambassador, and what does this opportunity mean to you personally?”
Representation and voice:
