Following a successful first year in 2019, we are now looking to recruit volunteers for the Original Shrewsbury Ambassadors 2020 programme to help visitors discover the wonderful hidden gems our town has to offer. Ambassadors are active on Saturdays (10am – 2.30pm) and Sundays (11am – 2.30pm) from April to September and there is plenty of flexibility around how much or how little time you are able to give. Based out of Shrewsbury Museum’s Volunteer Hub, with support from the Visitor Information Centre, the aim of the Ambassadors is to provide visitors to Shrewsbury with a warm welcome and a wide range of information, supplying their invaluable local knowledge to help visitors make the most of everything the town has to offer. Town ambassadors will be the face of Shrewsbury, and a very important welcome to the town for visitors. Why not get involved and be part of something special?
