Testimonials

“The thing that really inspires me about the Ella leadership group is the opportunity to be able to come together with other Chief Execs and MDs from the not for profit sector, to be able to share issues in a safe environment, and to be able to hear from some of the best brains.”

Sue PortoCEO

“Ella Forums provide a really safe and supportive space for people to share issues. Colleagues in the sector are often facing the same challenges and they really 'get it' when you want to talk something through - I don't know of anywhere else where you would have so much knowledge and experience to draw on in one virtual space. We all take something away from the meetings.”

Stuart ShoreChief Executive Officer

“It’s like a family coming together. We have common causes. We are all different, but we have common links because we are trying to do something better for our cause.”

Orin LewisChief Exec.

“My entire organisation has completely changed with the help that I have had from Ella Members.”

John CarrollCEO

“It’s made a big difference to me personally, but it has also made a difference to my organisation... sparked ideas... re-prioritising issues.”

Ellie PendredCEO

“I can come to Ella and discuss things with that support that I can then go back to volunteers with and help them and push them with their development.”

Shelley MarshExec. Director

“Ella is a crucial way for leaders of charities to gather support and develop their own leadership ability, which is a key ingredient for organisational success.”

Nick AldridgeChief Executive (Global)

“Everyone has very similar issues and, in fact, even in different types of charities many of the solutions and the way you reach the solutions are actually the same. So, learning from my peers is probably the most important part of the experience for me.”
