Stories from
Lisa Thefaut
DIRECTOR OF EXTENDED LEARNING, URSULINE HIGH SCHOOL, WIMBLEDON
Lisa is an active supporter of the Ambassador Programme at Ursuline High School and a proactive member of our school network. Ursuline High School has been consistently involved in our events for over eight years.
Quote From LISA:
"In a world where still it is often not what you know or who you are, but who you know that is the key to success, a programme such as this is vital if all young women are to have the same chance whatever their background. There really is no other programme providing schools with such service, enabling young women to learn from generous and extraordinary women."
Holly Green
WOMEN’S EDUCATION OFFICER, MULBERRY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
Holly is a key supporter of the Ambassador Programme at Mulberry School for Girls. Thanks to Holly and her colleagues, Mulberry students hardly miss an Ambassador event, and go further by attending other inspiring events like the Awards and the WOF Summit.
Quote From HOLLY:
"The Women of the Future Ambassadors programme has been of immense value to our students. Our girls leave Women of the Future events buzzing with excitement: the Ambassadors network provides them with a rich source of inspiration, encouragement and practical advice, which is instrumental in helping them plan for a successful future. This is particularly important to us, as the majority of our students are not born into families with an existing network of influential connections. Women of the Future helps us create that network for them."
Adenike Adeyemi
ALUMNI OF ST. MARTIN IN THE FIELDS HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS AND STUDENT AT UNIVERSITY OF WOLVERHAMPTON
Adenike benefited hugely from meeting the Ambassadors at our events, she connected with many successful women and in 2015 she was offered a work experience placement at Greenwich Clinical Commissioning Group. Today Adenike is studying for a Master of Science of Pharmacy.
Quote From Adenike:
"This opportunity could not have been possible had I not attended the Women of the Future Ambassadors event. At the event, I was privileged enough to connect with multitudes of high achieving and inspirational women from a range of sectors. I am extremely grateful to the members of staff at the Greenwich CCG, especially Mrs. Rena Amin and, most importantly the Women of the Future organisation for organising the ambassadors event and for committing to facilitate the creation of opportunities for young women like myself to also become impactful role models for younger women."
