Become an Ambassador for my AFK

Are you passionate about supporting disabled children and young people?

Do you believe, as we do, that those with disabilities deserve to live the life they choose, just like everyone else?

We are looking for passionate individuals to join our team of ambassadors and help spread the word about my AFK.

my AFK ambassadors are volunteers who support us in lots of different ways, representing my AFK in their communities and helping to engage people with our work.

As an Ambassador, you might:

• Take part in regular fundraising events for my AFK – you could run it, swim it, bike it or bake it!
• Encourage your friends, family, colleagues and community to support my AFK
• Connect our fundraising team to Charity of the Year or sponsorship opportunities in your area
• Organise your own fundraising event – we’ve got lots of ideas and plenty of resources to help you!

There’s no age limit on supporting my AFK – some of our biggest supporters are only 5 years old, others are 95! We welcome anyone who wants to help us support more disabled children and young people.

If you have completed my AFK’s programmes in Education & Training and/or Life & Work, you can volunteer to become a Student & Trainee Ambassador and help other young people who are being supported by my AFK, as well as promoting my AFK in your community.

As a Student & Trainee Ambassador, you could:

• Talk to new students and trainees about your experience at my AFK
• Volunteer at one of our events
• Participate in an event, such as the Superhero Tri, a sponsored walk, or a bike ride
• Organise a fundraising event, such as a bake sale or film night
• Be a speaker at our events, telling people about our work
• Encourage people to support our work as monthly donors

my AFK is dedicated to supporting its ambassadors as much as possible. Our team will always be willing to answer any questions you might have, or point you in the direction of any resources you need.

In addition, all ambassadors will have access to the following resources:

• A welcome pack
• my AFK literature
• Videos and written case studies
• PowerPoint presentations
• A fundraising pack

There are lots of different ways our ambassadors can support my AFK – at events, on social media, fundraising and more.
