And so, 12 months on, the Foundation would like to thank all the team for a variety of contributions made to offer such fantastic support during a challenging time for so many.
The list of ambassadors now supporting the Foundation are current and former Wolves men’s captains Conor Coady and Karl Henry, Wolves Women captain Anna Price, musical artist S-X, broadcasters Jay Blades, Jacqui Oatley, Johnny Phillips and Mark Rhodes and coach/mentor and former GB Paralympic football captain Jack Rutter.
The range of involvement from ambassadors has included leading Zoom calls for participants across the Foundation’s projects, getting involved in last November’s Molineux Sleepout, sending video messages for supporters, helping with Feed Our Pack food deliveries, and much more.
“Since Karl Henry and S-X became our first ambassadors two years ago, we had been keen to bring in more people across different areas of life to help support Foundation activities,” explains the Foundation’s communications and fundraising manager, Demi Grundy.
“We are thrilled and so appreciative to the team we have built up, whose experiences in their careers are not only interesting to our participants but also inspirational.
“Especially over this last 18 months, when at times we have had to deliver our projects online, the input of our ambassadors has been particularly crucial in providing encouragement and positivity to people of all ages, some of whom who may have been finding life difficult or struggling to cope.
“As we move on and hopefully the situation improves over the coming months, we will be able to hopefully work even closer with our ambassadors so that they can continue to have a really meaningful impact on the work of Wolves Foundation.”
As a sign of appreciation and thanks for their efforts, Wolves Foundation sent out gift boxes to the ambassadors at the end of last season featuring items including a Feed Our Pack t-shirt which was produced to promote the project aimed at reducing the effects of food poverty associated with the pandemic.
We look forward to a future of creating opportunities and changing lives through our projects and ambassadors. If you would like to keep up to date with Foundation activity, please follow @wwfcfoundation on social media.
