Becoming an Ambassador of Skcin

THE ROLE OF AN AMBASSADOR

An Ambassador of Skcin can help us raise awareness locally or regionally in a number of ways.
The extent to which an Ambassador may offer support to the charity is of course optional and dependent on the amount of time an individual can afford. However, for guidance we have outlined below a number of ways in which an Ambassador should ideally support Skcin in achieving our objectives. All Ambassadors will receive extensive resources to help them, full support from the charity and the opportunity to become part of a growing community of Ambassadors across the UK.

KEY TASKS FOR AMBASSADORS:

• Become familiar with the work of Skcin and our national accreditation schemes
• Engage your local community in our campaigns and promote our work using our resources
• Promote the schemes to local primary schools, pre-schools and employers of outdoor workers, encouraging them to take part and assist them where necessary in completing their accreditation
• Visit local primary schools to talk to pupils as part of their whole school assembly (required to complete their Sun Safe Schools Accreditation)
• Write to and meet your local Council and/or MP for support with rolling out the accreditation schemes
• Host and/or support a local awareness and/or fundraising event
• Inspire your family, friends, colleagues and on-line networks to support the charity
• Give short talks on the charity and our work (experience of public speaking is preferred)
• Engage with the local press about our work and your personal connection to skin cancer
• Attend cheque presentations and thank our supporters face-to-face in your local area
• Set up a fundraising group with friends, family or colleagues
• Make introductions to your contacts who may support the charity
• Create good connections in your local area to gain continued support
• Communicate with our Ambassador community by staying in touch via our on-line network
• Feedback regularly to Skcin your achievements and share on social media where possible
