Change Maker Ambassador

You will motivate other women to get active and make changes to their life. The Change makers will be pioneers to support women through delivery of activity, reaching out to women across the county.

You will be given access to Facebook and Instagram Lives to help reach women in real time and keep them encouraged and motivated to get active and enjoy it. There will also be the opportunity for #TakeoverTueday where an ambassador a month will be featured and have a chance to share a blog on their journey to help encourage others to join the change.

Move Cheerleader Ambassador

You are the everyday woman finding your active. By sharing your personal story and updates along the journey you will inspire others to follow in your footsteps. As a Move Cheerleader you champion the fact that there’s an activity for everyone.

 

All ambassadors are encouraged too consider:

  • Get friends involved and ‘Like’ the This Girl Can Essex Facebook page and visit our This Girl Can page on our Active Essex website for specific information on women only activity groups in Essex, funding for women’s projects, guide for clubs on how to attract more females and lots more!

  • Love your sport or activity? In addition to the roles you may want to talk to us about how we might help upskill you to help deliver to other women in your area.
