Trustees UK Acumen Academy (Charity number ) develops and delivers transformative leadership programmes to equip social entrepreneurs and leaders across the United Kingdom with the tools and community needed to strengthen their leadership, scale their impact, and create lasting change. As the UK partner of Acumen Academy - the world's school for social change - we are building a locally-rooted and globally-connected movement dedicated to solving problems of poverty and building a society based on dignity. Against the backdrop of persistent poverty and rising inequality across the United Kingdom, we identify, support, and accompany pioneering role models and business models who are reimagining the future of education, employment, healthcare, and inclusion for communities experiencing disadvantage. Through our flagship UK Fellows Programme, we have provided catalytic support to 84 Founders, CEOs and senior leaders whose innovations have positively impacted over 3 million lives across the United Kingdom. Our Fellows are breaking down barriers and fostering dignity for people trapped by systems of poverty, including: Marcellus Baz - Founder of Switch Up - transforming the lives of vulnerable young people through sport, mentoring, and counselling. Michelle Hill - CEO of Talk, Listen, Change - building a holistic approach to safe and healthy relationships. Rachel Gegeshidze - CEO of Tempo - uniting public, private, and community sectors to uplift communities. Fred Kastner - Co-Founder of TERN - supporting refugee entrepreneurs to build thriving enterprises. Yasmin Khan - CEO of Staying Put - working with communities to prevent abuse and build a world free from violence. Our 2025 Impact Report reflects the strong foundation we have built through the UK Fellowship, Foundry, and our growing partnerships. Building on this, we are looking to recruit up to three new Trustees to join the UK Acumen Academy board - helping carry UK Acumen Academy into its next chapter and deepening the reach, delivery, and impact of our programmes and our Fellows. We have identified three areas where we are particularly seeking expertise - Fundraising & Partnerships, Networks & Ambassador, and Finance & Treasurer (see the appendix) - and we anticipate recruiting for all three roles. However, we remain open to the right people: depending on the experience and expertise of candidates, we may recruit across some or all of these positions, or consider individuals who bring a compelling combination of skills across more than one area.
