We Have News!
We at Wavelength have some really exciting news to share today.
To mark our
75th anniversary, we’ve welcomed four celebrity Ambassadors to the fold: YES keyboard legend Rick Wakeman, Miss UK Kirsty Rose Heslewood, and much-loved comedians Miki Travis and Freddie ‘Parrot Face’ Davies.
Our Ambassadors will help to spread the word about WaveLength, act as inspiration for our beneficiaries and supporters, and amplify the voices of our beneficiaries – both among people who need WaveLength’s help but haven’t heard of us yet, and among potential donors.
Although WaveLength has been around for a long time, with our small staff it can be hard to raise awareness. Our new Ambassadors understand loneliness, and they understand media technology’s power to transform lives.
Expect their smiling faces and friendly voices on our upcoming new website, on ads, leaflets and flyers, and on WaveLength’s podcasts and videos.
Welcome Rick, Kirsty, Miki and Freddi!
