Goalball UK Ambassador (Voluntary Role)

More Information 

As an Ambassador, you will play a vital part in spreading the word about Goalball UK within your local area. We are seeking enthusiastic individuals who want to go beyond a casual commitment to help us raise awareness, reach more people, and secure valuable support from individuals, community groups, schools, and businesses.

Key Responsibilities

You can tailor the role to your strengths, but you may be asked to:

  • Represent the charity by attending local events.
  • Act as a local point of contact at events to support fundraisers and share information with those wanting to learn more.
  • Deliver presentations or talks to local groups who are considering fundraising for the foundation.
  • Work alongside our staff to raise the charity’s profile, which could include establishing your own local fundraising group.
  • Research ‘Charity of the Year’ opportunities within local businesses, schools, churches, and community groups.
  • Champion the sport by promoting it to your friends, family, colleagues, and the wider community.

Time Commitment

The level of activity is entirely flexible and up to you. We simply ask that each Ambassador organises at least one local fundraising event. You have complete freedom to decide what this looks like, whether it is a pub quiz, a summer garden party, or a Christmas carol and mince pie evening.

The Support We Offer

Because every Ambassador role is unique to the individual, the support we provide will be tailored to you. As a starting point, we will provide:

  • A dedicated, named member of staff to liaise with.
  • All necessary materials and charity information for your presentations and talks.
  • Access to our official PowerPoint presentation and promotional film.
  • Further bespoke support, which you can discuss with your nominated staff member once your promotional plans are established.

How to Apply 

If you have previously supported Goalball UK (whether by volunteering at camps, referring a child, or helping at an event) and are interested in becoming an Ambassador, please contact: mark.winder@goalballuk.com
