What is a Regional Ambassador?

The Trust’s Regional Ambassadors are an exceptional group of young people that have shown outstanding commitment to Holocaust remembrance.

From Exeter to Edinburgh, and Leeds to London, Ambassadors join this three-year programme and together they raise awareness of the Holocaust, galvanise the support of the Trust’s supporters and encourage each other to embark on their own projects to remember the Holocaust.
