Volunteer Speaker
The main role of a Community Ambassador is to speak publicly on behalf of TWAM and be our public face in their locality. This will mean receiving invitations from a variety of groups wanting a volunteer speaker to talk about TWAM.
Talks can be from 10 minutes to 40 minutes long and may include a Q&A session.
Please don’t worry as we will not ask you to speak at a meeting you are not confident to attend.
What will you be doing?
Groups such as Rotary, U3A, and WI ask for talks about TWAM. We also work with many Churches who ask us to speak at Church Services and Mid-week meetings (we will only ask a Christian comfortable with this setting to speak at Churches).
We will provide talks and presentations that you can use, and for our busiest Community Ambassadors, we can also provide projectors and screens.
We ask our Ambassadors to try and get their
own meetings as well as waiting for those
referred by us. An email or phone call to a
local group will often lead to an invitation.
What difference will you make?
This is an incredibly rewarding role as you get to meet lots of people and excite and enthuse them with the work of TWAM. Your enthusiasm will also help TWAM raise vital funds, gain the tools we need to operate, and gain new volunteers. This is a great difference to make!
Volunteer Benefits
You’ll join our Speaker Network with lots of support,
resources, ideas and opportunities for training. You
receive a Speaker Pack, TWAM polo-shirt and fleece.
You’ll be invited to Volunteer Days and Open Days.
About Tools With a Mission
We are a Christian charity that collects unwanted usable tools, refurbishes them, sorts them into trade tool kits and sends them to the developing world for livelihood creation. We send around 16 containers filled with a total of around 225 tonnes of tools every year. These tools range from sewing machines and knitting machines to carpentry tools and mechanics tools.
What skills do I need?
This is a great role for a confident speaker who wants to share our passion to transform lives through skills training and tools.
You’ll need access to transport, and if you use your car, legally we will also need to check you have adequate motor insurance and your car has an MOT.
You need to be able to speak eloquently, clearly and passionately about our work.
You need to be able
to engage with people and inspire
them to support TWAM.
