Tools with a Mission (Bromsgrove and Redditch)
Description of the role
The main role of a Community Ambassador is to speak publicly on behalf of Tools with a Mission (TWAM) and be our public face in their locality. This will mean receiving invitations from a variety of groups wanting a volunteer speaker to talk about TWAM.
Talks can be from 10 minutes to 40 minutes long and may include a Q&A session. Please don’t worry as we will not ask you to speak at a meeting you are not confident to attend. Groups such as Rotary, U3A, and WI ask for talks about TWAM. We also work with many Churches who ask us to speak at Church Services and Mid-week meetings (we will only ask a Christian comfortable with this setting to speak at Churches).We will provide talks and presentations that you can use, and for our busiest Community Ambassadors, we can also provide projectors and screens.
We ask our Ambassadors to try and get their own meetings as well as waiting for those referred by us. An email or phone call to a local group will often lead to an invitation.
This is a great role for a confident speaker who wants to share our passion to transform lives through skills training and tools. We are looking for volunteers who are:
- Confident
- Excellent communication
- Passionate
- Enthusiastic

About the organisation
The charitable work of Tools with a Mission is to collect unwanted tools, refurbish them, sort them into trade kits and send them across the world for livelihood creation. We send around 20 containers filled with over 300 tonnes of tools every year. To do this we rely on a national volunteer workforce and welcome people of all ages and abilities and of any faith and no faith.
We do this because we want to support local people supporting their own communities through sustainable livelihood creating projects. We believe there is dignity through work and the ability to provide for yourself and your family. We believe entire communities can be transformed through training and the provision of tool kits and equipment.
