Could you be our next Age Friendly Ambassador?
Are you passionate about making Hertfordshire a better place to grow older? Do you want to play an active role in shaping a more inclusive, supportive, and connected community for everyone?
We’re getting ready to move into Phase 2 of our Age Friendly Hertfordshire journey—guided by the feedback we’ve received from you and other residents. As part of this exciting next step, we’re looking for
Age Friendly Ambassadors to help us bring this vision to life.
The role of an ambassador is flexible and open to your interests, skills, and availability—because we believe the best contributions come from people doing what they love. Whether you’re interested in one or two of the eight Age Friendly domains (like transportation, housing, or social participation), or simply want to help raise awareness more broadly, there’s a place for you.
We haven’t set a strict role description because we want you to help shape what it looks like. Whether you’re a great communicator, a community connector, or just passionate about positive change—
we’d love to hear from you.
👉If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), please get in touch in whatever way is easiest for you. Our email address is:
Or please call Jo Baxter on 07300 793742
When you get in touch, it would be helpful if you could please:
- Let us know you’re interested in becoming an Age Friendly Ambassador.
- (Optional) Share if you have a particular interest in any of the eight domains.
