Introduction
Who are the FNF Alumni Champions?
On 11 March 2022, FNF launched the Alumni Champions initiative. We asked FNF Alumni across the UK to help us share the fantastic work we’re doing in their region and the call was answered! These Champions are enthusiastic and committed nurses and midwives who want to raise FNF’s profile, influence change, and pay forward the opportunities FNF has given them.
What do they do?
Alumni Champions promote FNF programmes and membership. What’s more, they create local communities who get together to focus on exciting projects such as fundraising, social and environmental initiatives. The initiative has already shown great potential and FNF will continue to grow the Champions network.
