Ambassadors

What our ambassadors do

Many of our ambassadors lead the response when an emergency hits. They are metro mayors, directors of public health, chairs of Local Resilience Forums, and senior figures in policing and the fire service. Others are public figures who use their profile to back 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.
