GAINING BUSINESS LEADERS’ SUPPORT In the last three academic years, Inner Wings has trained over 750 teachers to support children in developing their confidence toolkit and foster positive self-worth and acceptance. Over 90% of teachers say they are satisfied with the two programmes’ resources and over 80% have noticed a positive change in the students who need it most. The same number of children also say they felt more
confident after completing the programmes. One teacher commented that after delivering the programme with a small group of children, “they are speaking out more confidently in class and have more resilience to give things a go.” Another valued “how the programmes addressed important elements of mental health and wellbeing, which are so prevalent at the moment.”
“ For Melissa, it was very important to go in early and teach children those skills and tools, learn about developing a growth mindset and why it is important to detach our value from external circumstances before things get more complicated in those secondary years at school with social media.” ELLEN SHUSTIK, INNER WINGS
Another measure of Inner Wings’ progress alongside
its impact and reach is that it is working in partnership with leaders in business and politics to further its goals to help young people value themselves, reach their full potential and build the next generation of leaders, one child at a time. The Inner Wings Advisory Council was launched
in September at an event at the Palace of Westminster, House of Lords. Hosted by Baroness Mary Goudie, a global advocate for the rights of women and children and a founding member of the 30% Club, on behalf of Melissa di Donato Roos and Inner Wings, the Advisory Council’s launch brought together leaders committed to addressing the diverse issues affecting young children today. The five-member globally focused Advisory Council
will work to further increase the impact of Inner Wings. As well as Baroness Goudie, council members include:
• Christine Ashton: CIO at UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) and a non-executive director for Royal Bank of Scotland International.
• Iveta Cabajova: CFO and COO of technology firm 1E, Iveta is a founding member of SheSaaS, an exclusive female leadership network.
• Carolyn Dawson: CEO of Founders Forum Group, a global community and group of businesses supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of their journeys
• Graeme Lawrie MBE: Partnerships director at ACS International Schools, Graeme is a qualified teacher specialising in technology, computing, electronics and design.
“The Advisory Council will help guide our work, expand our network of schools and beneficiaries, and increase our impact,” says Ellen Shustik. “It will support social mobility and gender equality, with input from the worlds of politics, academia and business.”
