Description

Muscular Dystrophy UK (MDUK) is the only charity the UK to provide support to the more than 60 types of muscle-wasting conditions.

As an Ambassador you will be a representative for the charity, and help spread awareness of the impact of the charity. You will use your influence and contacts with local small businesses and individuals in your local area to help build networks and fundraising partnerships.

You will get the opportunity to speak about the cause and the work of the charity; developing relationships with key supporters and individuals as part of the process. This is great experience for someone looking to build their confidence, get out their community and build skills in sales or marketing. You will also get to raise awareness of who we are and what we do.

All help makes a real difference and is greatly appreciated.
