We’re looking for people who care deeply about social justice, community, and clothing circularity. We particularly welcome volunteers with lived experience of clothing poverty or hardship, whose insight helps us shape how we engage with and support others with dignity.
Whether you’re confident in community spaces, connected in corporate settings, or active online, we have three flexible Ambassador roles:

Community Ambassadors help us build strong, local connections by representing Sharewear in person across community spaces.
This role is all about raising awareness of clothing poverty, speaking confidently about our work, and encouraging people to get involved through donating, volunteering, or supporting campaigns.
Community Ambassadors attend events, visit schools or groups, share materials, and help us spot new opportunities or partners. They bring our values to life dignity, compassion, hope, and community while feeding back insights that help us improve our services.

Corporate Ambassadors use their professional networks to open doors for Sharewear in workplaces, business groups, and industry settings.
They help organisations understand clothing poverty and introduce partnership opportunities such as ReLived, brand donor clothing, sponsorship, or staff engagement activities.
This role suits people who feel confident in professional environments and enjoy building relationships. Corporate Ambassadors help extend our reach into spaces the staff team may not access alone, while modelling our values and signposting any opportunities or enquiries to the team.

Whether posting occasionally or creating their own content, they play a key role in helping new audiences understand clothing poverty and the importance of clothing circularity.
This role is flexible and creative, allowing volunteers to use their authentic voice while promoting ways for people to get involved. Digital Ambassadors help extend our reach, highlight our impact, and ensure our values are reflected in all online interactions.

By following our socials, we hope you will identify content for sharing but there are no ideal requirements re frequency of this. You know your community best and will know how best to avoid content or audience fatigue.
