We’re excited to announce the launch of a unique and meaningful opportunity at Solent Mind: we’re recruiting our first Ambassador.

This new volunteer role has been created following feedback from our staff and with the full support of our Board of Trustees. It’s part of our commitment to raising awareness of mental health and strengthening our connection with communities across Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.

Why this role matters

Our Ambassadors will help us:

• Raise the profile of Solent Mind, and champion mental health awareness.
• Inspire others to support our work through fundraising, donations, and partnerships.
• Open doors to new opportunities through their networks and public presence.

This is a rare opportunity - Solent Mind will only have a small number of Ambassadors, making this a highly visible and valued role.

Who we’re looking for

We’re seeking someone with:

• A strong connection to Hampshire and the communities we serve.
• A public profile and confident communication style.
• A passion for mental health and making a difference.
• The ability to use their networks - online or in person - to help us grow our reach.

Lived experience of mental health challenges is welcomed but not essential.

How you can help

We need help to find the right person to start the role in 2026 for just one day a month.

If you could introduce us to someone or would like to learn more about the role yourself, please contact Robert Wayman, Director of Fundraising, External Engagement & IT, at rwayman@solentmind.org.uk.
