Volunteer Ambassadors help us spread the word about My Community Forum and its benefits and services. They drive new users to the Forum through interest and understanding of social media, marketing, and promotion. Relevant Facebook groups and other platforms and spaces for people living with HIV and related conditions are fruitful recruitment grounds for our volunteer ambassadors.
We want to ensure that My Community Forum reaches all groups of people living with HIV across the UK and beyond. Volunteer ambassadors help us find fresh ways to entice and encourage our new members. They engage with members to ensure the stories of those who have had a positive impact from using the Forum are used to promote the valuable work we do.
