About Us
Age UK Buckinghamshire is a local, independent charity and part of the wider Age UK Network. We support older people across the county through vital services including befriending, information and advice, dementia support, practical help at home, and welfare benefits support - helping people stay independent, connected, and supported.
Our work is more important now than ever. Many older people face growing challenges such as the rising cost of living, social isolation, and difficulty accessing support.
As demand for our services continues to increase, community support is essential to help us reach more people in need. By raising awareness of what we do, we can ensure that older people know where to turn for help, and inspire others to support our work through volunteering, fundraising, and partnership.
About the Role
We are looking for enthusiastic and confident Charity Ambassadors who are passionate about giving back to their community and making a difference, to help raise awareness of our work. This is a rewarding and flexible role, ideal for individuals who enjoy meeting new people and speaking in public.
As a Charity Ambassador, you will represent Age UK Buckinghamshire at a range of events and settings such as community groups, Rotary Clubs, Church groups, and other local events and venues. You will help raise awareness of the support available to older people, providing information about our services and how people can access advice, practical help, and companionship when they need it.
You will also share the impact of our work by bringing it to life through real examples and stories, helping others understand the real difference this support makes to older people’s lives. By demonstrating this impact, you will highlight why support through fundraising, volunteering, and partnership opportunities is so important in helping us reach more people in need.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver engaging presentations and talks about Age UK Buckinghamshire’s work
- Represent the charity at community events, meetings, and local groups
- Help raise awareness of services available to older people
- Promoting planned fundraising initiatives and activities.
- Thank and recognise supporters and fundraisers within the community
- Assist in reviewing, adapting, and improving presentation materials (e.g. PowerPoint slides)
- Act as a positive and professional ambassador for the organisation
What You’ll Gain
- The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in your community
- Experience in public speaking and community engagement
- The chance to work alongside our Community Engagement, Fundraising, and Services teams
- Full training, including opportunities to shadow our services, and ongoing support from our team
- Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses
- A chance to be part of a friendly and supportive charity network
Time commitment
This is a flexible role to suit your availability. Charity Ambassadors will be contacted as appropriate and offered the opportunity to attend events to which we are invited. Talks and events may be delivered alongside another volunteer or staff member, or occasionally independently.
Training & Support
All Charity Ambassadors will receive training, resources, and guidance to help them feel confident in delivering presentations and representing the charity. This will include opportunities to shadow our services and gain a deeper understanding of the support we provide to older people.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
