Daring to Dream is delighted to have a committed and growing network of Ambassadors.
Our ambassadors each act as a champion for the charity, help spread the word about the charity’s work within their communities, creating new community partnerships to increase awareness and support events and income generating campaigns.
The support of our ambassadors is so important to Daring to Dream.
We are extremely grateful to each of them for the skills and commitment they bring to the charity and offering their valuable time at no cost.
Our growing network of Daring to Dream ambassadors.
Our growing network of Daring to Dream ambassadors.
Josie Ash: We are delighted to have Josie join us, committed to our mission and determined to really help Daring to Dream grow as a charity. Amy Penn has inspired many of us, to take our mission forward.
“My name is Josie, and I’m incredibly proud and excited to be joining the Daring to Dream charity as an ambassador. This charity is very close to my heart, as it helps to continue the legacy of one of my best friends, Amy Penn.”
Hamed Amiri: Hamed has supported our work as an ambassador since began. His brother Hussein, was someone who inspired the development of the charity.
“Being an ambassador for Daring to Dream is something that means a great deal to me because I’ve seen how important emotional health is, especially in moments when families are facing serious illness.”
Hessam Amiri: Hessam too has been a huge support as an ambassador since we began. Having experienced firsthand the emotional impact of illness, he is keen to ensure that Hussein’s legacy continues.
“Becoming an Ambassador for Daring to Dream feels like a natural continuation of a journey our family has lived firsthand. When Hussein was in hospital, I witnessed how much the emotional side of illness mattered — not just for him, but for all of us waiting, hoping, and holding it together beside him.”
Dr Heidi Seage: We are also delighted to have Heidi join our team of ambassadors too. Bringing her own professional and personal experiences and understanding is a real asset for us.
Dr Heidi Seage is a Health Psychologist (HCPC) and Principal Lecturer in Health Psychology at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Heidi has led research that focused on understanding lived experiences of people managing chronic illnesses, exploring how stigma, identity and social context shape wellbeing and quality of life.
Would you like to know more about being a Daring to Dream Ambassador?
We are steadily turning up the volume on the importance of emotional (as opposed to mental) health when living with illness.
To live our most fulfilling life, even when shaped or shortened by illness, then emotional health and clinical care go hand in hand.
As we continue to amplify our voice, to share and get our mission heard across Wales, we continue to build our ambassador network.
