Leadership Perspectives: Trust Case Studies

“An inclusive culture of belonging doesn’t happen overnight and it doesn’t come from a policy document. It comes from that shared wellbeing framework that we have at EMPOWER Trust now, and that’s what this partnership has given us.”

Carla Whelan, CEO, EMPOWER Multi Academy Trust

“The project brought people together that individual schools wouldn’t have been able to achieve on their own. The impact was immediate. Children showed increased confidence, they had stronger self-belief and a greater willingness to support their peers. The programme really helped our young people to develop practical strategies for staying positive, managing challenges and building resilience.’’

Emma Wigmore, CEO, The Diocese of Chelmsford Vine Schools Trust

‘Like you as Trust Leaders, I get countless emails and invites every week from external organisations asking us to get involved in various schemes and it's always so hard to know what is actually worth doing. YouthShoots is tried and tested, it's genuinely different and what means so much to me is that it's personal. Paul’s passion is infectious and it provides exceptional value for money and long-term impact for our schools. I cannot recommend getting involved highly enough.’

Catherine Stalham, CEO, South Essex Academy Trust
