A fresh year. A small action. A real impact.

As we move into a new year, many of us reflect on what we want from the months ahead.

New skills. New connections. A sense of purpose alongside our day-to-day. 

The Scottish Food and Drink Ambassadors Programme exists to make volunteering simple, flexible and meaningful for people working across Scotland’s food and drink sector. 

At its heart, the programme connects industry professionals with young people and educators. Ambassadors share real stories about their roles, their pathways and the wide range of careers that exist across the sector. Often, these are careers young people are simply unaware of. 

Sometimes, one conversation is enough to spark confidence, curiosity or ambition. 

By volunteering, Ambassadors help build a more visible, inclusive and informed future workforce. Many also find that volunteering supports their own wellbeing, confidence and professional development. 

Small actions really can have a lasting impact.
