Volunteering:
- This is a volunteer role that is incredibly rewarding but also requires dedication, time and some additional hours outside the monthly group events.
- The role is to lead the group, to champion its benefits to the cancer community and to build a small support team.
- We will support you as an ambassador. However, it’s important to remember that each of our groups must be driven by a small team of committed and passionate ambassadors.
Working with the community:
- As we grow, the challenge of educating and helping health care professionals - that work in cancer care pathways - understand the benefits of movement, physical activity and exercise when living with and beyond cancer is becoming easier. However, in places it can still be a challenge.
- The key to starting a 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer group is to find the right person to become an ambassador and to set up the group linked to their local parkrun.
- It's important to build relationships and create signposting routes at local hospitals, GP surgeries and through other organisations as well as support groups. We will provide support with this once you have started with us as an ambassador.
dedication from your ambassador team:
- Typically, it takes 2 months from first contact to starting the group but this can vary from location to location. We never rush an ambassador to get started and will always wait for you to be ready.
- Each group should have 3 ambassadors one of which needs to be a Health Care professional connected with local cancer services, hospitals or GP practices.
- The health Care Professional/s do not necessarily have to be at each group meet up but they need to be connected as an ambassador. More details on this will be shared in the starter pack.
