Ambassadors

What our ambassadors do

Many of our ambassadors lead the response when an emergency hits. They are directors of public health, chairs of Local Resilience Forums, and senior figures from the emergency services. Others are survivors and public figures who use their experience and profile to support and amplify our work.

They give us expert advice. They connect us with their communities. They speak for the Trust, so more people know where to turn, and where to give, when survivors need help.
