I have travelled to different areas of the Diocese meeting people and promoting the charity and I’ve always received wonderful support from The Children’s Society’s Community Relationships Manager for the region. If you love meeting people and want to work with a charity who really cares, please do apply for this role”.
Claire McMinn, Community Relationship Manager – West Midlands said: “Our Diocesan Ambassadors are an extremely important part of our community volunteers.
