This week’s meeting at True Ambassadors highlighted our ongoing commitment to empowering communities by creating spaces for learning, connection, and celebration. Bringing together local residents and experts, the session offered valuable insights on fire safety, digital skills, health resources, and well-being. With each presentation, attendees gained practical knowledge to improve their daily lives. Here’s a look at the key moments.
Jaimie and Richard from the London Fire Brigade opened the session with an informative talk on fire and carbon monoxide safety. They emphasised the importance of regularly checking smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and shared practical tips on reducing fire risks at home. Attendees also learned about the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and how common household appliances, like fridges and washing machines, can present unexpected hazards. Their advice ensured everyone left with a better understanding of home safety.
Lennie Prosper continued his series on digital inclusion by reviewing key points from the previous lesson. He took the time to answer participants’ questions before guiding them through the process of creating an email account and sending emails. His clear, step-by-step approach made it easy for everyone to follow along, providing attendees with a valuable skill for navigating the digital world. For the people who found it difficult to follow him, we tried to pay personal attention and answer their questions.
Eleonora, an advisor from Well Newham, introduced the group to the Joy platform, a resource designed to support health and well-being within the community. She explained how participants could use the platform to access advice and support, and how they could refer others who might benefit from its services. Her presentation highlighted the importance of connecting with local resources to improve overall well-being.
Shane Macques, a well-being and nutrition expert, provided an engaging session focused on adopting a balanced lifestyle. He shared practical tips on maintaining a healthy diet and building resilience, encouraging attendees to make small, manageable changes for long-term benefits. His approachable style and evidence-based advice resonated strongly with the audience.
The session ended on a joyful note as we celebrated the birthday of Doris, the founder of True Ambassadors. It was a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for her tireless dedication and the vision she has brought to the organisation. The room was filled with warm wishes, laughter, and gratitude as attendees gathered to mark the occasion. A beautifully prepared cake added a festive touch, and heartfelt words were shared, reflecting on how Doris’s leadership has inspired and united the community. The celebration was a fitting way to honour someone whose work has had such a meaningful impact on so many lives.
This week’s meeting was a true reflection of True Ambassadors’ mission as a UK charity dedicated to empowering communities through knowledge, support, and meaningful connections. From practical advice on fire safety and digital skills to inspiring talks on health and well-being, each segment of the session added value to the lives of those who attended.
