About True Ambassadors

True Ambassadors is a dynamic grassroots organisation based in Plaistow. For the past five years, our commitment has been to reduce isolation and empower communities by providing a safe and inspiring foundation to face adversity. We have built a strong local presence, collaborating with the Plaistow Library and local community groups, and have previously received funding from Newham Council for the organisation of events targeting suicide prevention awareness. In response to the recent UK Government Loneliness Strategy and the Newham Suicide Prevention Strategy 2023-2026, we started a strategic partnership with academics at University College London. In collaboration, we have organised educational intergenerational events with the goal of reducing loneliness, promoting mental health and empowering the most vulnerable in our communities. We have consistently contributed to improving mental health in Newham and were awarded Best East London Community Support in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
