Asthma UK - Young Ambassadors Needed

Between 12 March 2009 and 30 May 2009, in Liverpool

Asthma UK is looking for 12 to 21 year-olds with asthma across the UK to act as ambassadors for the charity and champion issues affecting young people with asthma - the most common long-term childhood medical condition in the UK.

Volunteers will be encouraged to get involved with a range of opportunities to suit their interests, from raising awareness through local campaigning, raising money to support vital services for children, having their views heard as part of Asthma UK's youth forum or taking part in a youth conference later in 2009.

The ambassadors will receive training and support from Asthma UK and will be encouraged to use online social networking sites such as Facebook to communicate and share information with each other and their wider communities.

For further details on how to become a young ambassador for Asthma UK or to find out more about our Putting Asthma in the Limelight campaign, please call 0800 121 62 55, email getinvolved@asthma.org.uk, or visit our website, asthma.org.uk
