Ambassadors New Year Celebration – A Night of Joy, Recognition & Community

The celebration featured heartfelt conversations, joyful reunions, inspiring stories, and of course, delicious culturally relevant food that everyone enjoyed. Most importantly, it created space for our Ambassadors to feel seen, appreciated, and uplifted as we step into another year of collective action.

💬 Ambassador Voices
Our Ambassadors shared some wonderful reflections about the event. Here are a few highlights:
“The Ambassador’s Celebration was a gift to be a part of. Seeing the real heroes finally getting their props helped remind me why I joined the network myself. The event emphasised the importance of the work being done in the community, gave space to allow those who serve to be nourished and equipped us all with well-needed food for thought in regard to our own health and wellbeing. The delicious culturally relevant food was the ‘cheese on the spiced bun’/cherry on the cake 😊. More of these kinds of events, everyone – let’s all take note.” -  Ryan, Community Health Ambassador

“I attended the last Southwark Ambassador's event and I found the event well‑organised, engaging and accessible for a person living with disability as myself. I enjoyed the empowering and community‑focused approach and it made me inspired and motivated to do more.” - Olaniyi, Community Health Ambassador

"The Ambassadors Celebration left me genuinely uplifted. It was inspiring to be surrounded by people so committed to making a difference, and I left feeling deeply valued and energised for the work ahead." Philomena - Community Health Ambassador.

Thank you once again to every Ambassador who joined us and contributed to such a memorable evening. Your voices, energy, and commitment continue to shape this network in powerful ways. We’re excited for the year ahead and look forward to creating even more opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate the incredible work you do in our communities.
