You will set yourself targets and goals, guided by your dedicated Movember representative. The focus will be on the Movember campaign rolling out from September until Christmas, but there are opportunities to raise funds and awareness year round, but this is not mandatory. This role would suit any keen Movember supporter whether they have a personal connection to one of our cause areas (Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer or Mental Health & Suicide Prevention) or just want to help us raise some much needed funds/ awareness. Our Community Ambassadors will look to turn their localities into a hub for Movember related activities gathering as much support as possible!

This Movember staff member is dedicated to supporting ambassadors throughout their journey and committed to providing them with advice, techniques, tools and materials to ensure they can fulfil their role as an ambassador. This will include:

• Regular support from the Movember team

Timings

Training Sessions: A time slot will be provided for early September to allow you to attend and meet your fellow ambassadors. Due to Covid restrictions this may be online but we will keep you posted!

The ambassador role runs year round, with the bulk of your involvement being from September to December. Like all of our dedicated Mo fundraisers, this is a voluntary position.

Your mental health is paramount to us, and if you ever feel that the additional responsibilities are becoming a burden, Movember encourages ambassadors to take a break and ensure they are mentally well. For further information email aoife.keane@movember.com.
