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 Volunteer 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.

• Represent the charity at community events, meetings, and local groups

What We’re Looking For

• Friendly, approachable, and passionate about supporting older people
• Reliable and able to represent the charity professionally
• Basic IT skills, including confidence using a computer and presenting from PowerPoint slides
• Willingness to learn about our services (training will be provided)
• Previous public speaking experience is helpful but not essential

What You’ll Gain

• 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

This is a flexible role to suit your availability. Volunteer 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.

All Volunteer 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.
