Redbridge 2012 Ambassadors
Redbridge Ambassadors have been recruited from all over the
borough; they are of all ages and from all communities, but the
thing they have in common is a commitment to Redbridge and a
passion for the London 2012 games. By the Spring of 2012 we aim
to have recruited and trained 200 ambassadors who will
get involved in our summer 2012 celebrations.
Who are Redbridge Ambassadors?
- Local residents who are helping to promote sport, culture and
2012
- Business owners or workers that are keen to reap the benefits
of 2012
- Community activists who are helping others to engage
with 2012
- Teachers or other council staff who can help us get residents
ready
- Local celebrities who can help us spread our message.
What do they do?
The availability, skills and experience of our ambassadors are
very different; therefore the roles will be varied to ensure
everyone can contribute in their own way. This could include
helping us out with activities and tasks such as:
- Featuring in Redbridge Life or Redbridge i
- Volunteering on a range of our 2012 activities and
festivals
- Helping out on at the Torch Relay event, Inspiration
Roadshows and other key 2012 events
- Talking to the press and other important people about
Redbridge
- Spreading the positive messages about 2012 to everyone they
meet
- Helping us to find out what residents want to see happen in the
borough for 2012.
We hold regular welcome workshops and training for our
ambassadors, and they offer support at all sorts of events like our
Summer festivals, and the highlight of the year - the Torch Relay
in July 2012!
We also have a number of dedicated Team Leaders and Young
Team Leaders, who will lead teams of ambassadors at events.
Skills include:
- Confidence and leadership skills
- Have experience of managing others
- Work well under pressure
