Acevo has named the young leaders set to receive this year’s fellowships.

Sponsored by The Leadership Trust Foundation, Acevo fellowships aim to champion inspirational and emerging leaders from across the country, identifying those who deserve greater recognition for their work and achievements locally, nationally and internationally.

Fellowships were awarded at Acevo’s annual general meeting yesterday. The winners are: Gail Gibbens, CEO of Sheffield Futures; Adrian Ramsay, CEO of the Centre for Alternative Technology; Anita Grover, CEO of Auditory Verbal UK; Trish McGrath, CEO of Aberystwyth Students Union and Jane Bake, the Director of Service Innovation and Integration at St Barnabas Hospice.

Cancer Support UK CEO Gemma Holding received a recognition award.

Each fellowship receives a free place on a Leadership Trust development programme worth over £3,000; a personalised development plan; an Acevo mentor; a free place on an Acevo masterclass; a pack of Acevo publications and, if not already a member, a year’s free membership.

Acevo chair Paul Farmer said the fellowships are only issued to candidates of the highest quality, “whose passion, professionalism and ability to inspire place them at vanguard of emerging leaders”.

“Their beneficiaries, causes, staff and boards are all fortunate to have these individuals at the helm,” Farmer said. “Too often hard work and vision do not get the recognition they deserve. These awards attempt to address that deficit.”
