Become a Guideposts Ambassador
Guideposts Ambassadors help Guideposts by offering continual support as their chosen charity of choice. They may support us in various ways, from shouting out to the wider community about our work, sharing our social media stories and putting great people and organisation in touch with fundraising.
It’s all about raising awareness, as well as fundraising.
Benefits of the Guideposts Ambassador programme
Learn new skills
Fundraising and awareness raising are a great way to challenge yourself and achieve something you haven’t done before – whether that’s a physical challenge or organising an event.
Meet new people and make friends
Who says you have to work alone? Ambassadors are a key part of the Guideposts team and the work we do.
Give something back to the community
The money or awareness you raise will help the most disadvantaged in your community to access vital services that allow them to be included in society.

About Guideposts
Guideposts is a UK based charity working with people, and local communities, to help them access the support, opportunities and skills they need to overcome social challenges, improve their wellbeing and change their lives.
We run a range of services that are focused on helping people to achieve their potential regardless of their circumstances. We connect people together so that they can experience the joy that comes from friendship, activity, learning, purpose and occupation. We love what we do and we love seeing people flourish.
Many of the people we support come from the most disadvantaged groups in our society, including children and adults with additional needs and disabilities, people with mental health problems, older people with dementia and other neuro-degenerative conditions, and the families or carers of all these groups. We believe that all people should be equally valued and have an equal chance to live the best life possible, that is why we do what we do.
Together we are the Guideposts community, helping each other to achieve better wellbeing.
