Campaigners Connect

Connect to your fellow campaigners and build community by joining a Campaigns Ambassador WhatsApp chat. This is a test running until August 2026 so there might be changes along the way.

Join Campaigners Connect

What is it?

Campaigners Connect is designed to help Campaigns Ambassadors:

  • meet others in your area or with similar interests

  • share tips and experiences

  • stay motivated and take more campaign actions.

During the test period you will be invited to join either a regional or interest-based WhatsApp group. More groups will be introduced if this test period is a success.

How does it work?

  1. Sign up using our quick form and select the group you have been invited to join.

  2. Get connected. Your group’s ‘lead’ will add you to the group WhatsApp chat and introduce you to members

  3. Over to you! How you use the group is up to you but we’ve got some top tips to help you get started.

Top tips to make the most of your group

Joining a group is a great way to share ideas and stay motivated. Here are some tips to help you get started:

  • Break the ice. Start by introducing yourself and sharing why you became a Campaigns Ambassador.

  • Set your goals. Decide what you’d like to get from the group: sharing tips, learning new skills, or planning campaign actions together.

  • Keep it positive and respectful. Everyone brings different experiences and views.

  • Share ideas and ask questions. Got a challenge? Ask the group. Have a success story? Inspire others!
