Get involved as a Community Ambassador

Community Ambassadors are exciting new volunteer roles that help connect residents to their housing association landlord.

Community Ambassador role

Are you passionate about your community? Do you want to bring a change to your local area? Are you someone who has good listening and communication skills? Do you want to make a real difference in the area where you live? If this sounds interesting then this is the role for you.

Residents, the Council and housing associations have come together to create these exciting new volunteer roles for social housing tenants and leaseholders in this borough. As a Community Ambassador volunteer, you can:

• Connect fellow residents' views and share them with your housing association and the Council, raising issues and ideas
• Bring positive physical change to your local area
• Bring opportunities for your community to come together
• Tell us what is important to your local community
• Help identify the issues around your homes through estate inspections and help to bring about solutions
• Work with residents to bring about projects that will benefit your community
• Help bring a voice to those who would typically go unheard
• Make sure your housing association hears from its residents

Register your interest

If you would like to know more about becoming a Community Ambassador or would like to register your interest in the role, contact housingcommunityambassadors@richmond.gov.uk with your name and phone number and a member of the team will be in touch.

The process to become a Community Ambassador:

• We will be in touch to arrange a date and time for a conversation

We are looking for a number of Community Ambassadors to represent the spread and diversity of the social housing estates and properties across Richmond upon Thames, so do share this opportunity with family and friends.
