Ambassadors & advisory board members

United to challenge stigma and combat online harm

Our ambassadors

Driving better mental health dialogue

Ripple ambassadors are public figures who are open to sharing their experience in mental health, inspiring others to engage in open discussions and take a proactive approach to mental health and suicide prevention.

We work collaboratively with our growing network to shift attitudes and confront the stigma surrounding these critical issues, while raising awareness of Ripple technology.

Fay Greaves

BBC One's 'The Traitors'

A well-known face from the Bafta-winning BBC One's 'The Traitors,' a show that took the entertainment world by storm with over 34 million views on BBC iPlayer, Fay brings more to the table than her television stardom. She has a remarkable thirty-year career in the education sector and serving as 'Head of School Welfare', and passion for creating a positive impact and supporting young individuals facing mental health struggles.

We are teaming up to let as many educational organisations know about the free Ripple technology as possible, supporting them with the quick and easy deployment process, and ensuring as many young people as possible are signposted to mental health support as and when they need it.
