Ambassador programme

Living with a spinal cord injury? We are often asked to give talks to schools, rotary clubs and local companies about what it's like to live with a spinal cord injury.

If you're looking for a new challenge then we'd love to hear from you!

Our Community Ambassadors are vital to our charity in helping people to understand the realities of living with a spinal cord injury (SCI). We're always on the look out for enthusiastic ambassadors that can support our small team by getting out and about talking to community groups. As well as making ad-hoc presentations, by bringing your own life experiences of SCI to us, you will be helping to inspire and guide the charity and its activities.

Having your own transport is essential, and ideally you will live locally to Stoke Mandeville, but we are open to ambassadors in other areas.

This role is voluntary in the first instance, but all expenses will be paid.

If you are interested in joining our Ambassador programme please contact [email protected] to find out more.
