What is a Good Health @ Work Ambassador?

Our Ambassadors are representatives of organisations who have engaged with the Good Health at Work programme offered by Get Set UK and Funded by Suffolk County Council.

These organisations pay their experience forward by supporting other Suffolk businesses to build and champion a culture of health and wellbeing across the county.

This can be either by sharing their experience of the Good Health @ Work programme, mentoring a business to achieve the GH@W Bronze, Silver or Gold award, or by generally championing Good Health at Work principles, sharing their experiences and expertise and hosting Good Health @ Work events such as face to face training or networking events.
