Huntington's disease ambassadors are community members who work with us to help raise awareness by public speaking, talking to the press and media and providing valuable assets for campaigns such as awareness month.


What does it take to be an ambassador?

We are not currently taking on any more ambassadors at this moment in time.

 

Being an ambassador is really rewarding and helps people to grow in confidence and use their stories to inspire others.

 

Through our ambassador scheme, you will be one of the faces of Huntington's disease for our charity. We will support you in sharing your story and there will be future opportunities to develop your skills through things such as media training.

 


What is involved?

To be an ambassador you will be required to join a group that will be sent media / speaking requests as well as requests for the Huntington's Disease Association. These requests could be, but are not limited to:

  • Press and media requests
  • Quotes or interviews with publications or researchers
  • Speakers for conferences, lectures or talks
  • Social media content such as videos or soundbites
  • Sharing content for big campaigns such as awareness month, parliamentary news or surveys 


Who can become an ambassador?

Anyone from the Huntington's disease community who is happy to talk and share their story in a public-facing setting.

  • With Huntington's disease
  • At risk or negative
  • Carers
  • Family members
  • Fundraisers
