Become an Acorn Ambassador for the New Velindre Cancer Centre!
The Acorn Ambassador Alliance will support and advise on the project’s prospective and ongoing community benefit schemes, communicate news to local residents and attend community events to raise awareness of the project’s social values. They will also represent and advocate for the project to the local community, ensuring a positive experience for all those involved, and network with local voluntary and community organisations to build strong partnerships.
For any local residents who would like to apply to become an Acorn Alliance Ambassador, you can apply via our online application and hard copy forms will be available at the Whitchurch Hub, Grangetown Hub, Star Hub and Butetown Pavillion Hub.
The Acorn Ambassador Alliance is a separate initiative to Velindre Voices, which is a well-established forum lead by the Velindre University NHS Trust. Velindre Voices is a way for patients, carers, and members of the wider community to keep in touch with the Trust, influence its work and get involved in whatever way they see fit. The Acorn Ambassador Alliance is being set up specifically to advise the new Velindre Cancer Centre’s project staff on the needs of the local community during the build and beyond.
The Acorn Ambassador Alliance is committed to involving the public in the development of the new Velindre Cancer Centre. We believe in the strength of diverse voices to build an inclusive and effective cancer care facility.
