About us
Who we are
Who we are
The Windsor Fellowship (WF) is a charitable organisation. We design and deliver innovative personal development and leadership programmes, to enable talented people from diverse communities to fulfil their potential.
To do this we partner with leading organisations from the private and public sectors as well as developing relationships with schools, universities and community groups throughout the UK.
We have trained and supported over 19,000 young people from diverse backgrounds to successfully navigate the journey towards educational and career success, while becoming active citizens in their community.
At the same time our work helps employers access talent from within the UK’s diverse communities.
The objectives underpinning our work are to:
- Improve educational attainment.
- Strengthen community cohesion.
- Achieve greater equality opportunities in employment.
As well as directly enriching the lives of the individuals who participate in our programmes, we seek to inspire and challenge Windsor Fellowship alumni to make a positive contribution to Britain’s economic and civic life.
How we work
We have developed a unique high impact approach – our 4 key principles are based on methods adapted from talent development programmes used by leading global companies, and in training elite sports people. This involves structured guidance and support including:
1. Targeting young people at key stages of their educational development
2. Enhancing the connection of participants
3. Focusing on more than just academic development and employment
4. Providing mentoring and guidance
5. Partnering with third parties
Our work targets the complete spectrum of talents, from those with latent talents, to those who are disaffected and alienated. We help those who may be on the verge of exclusion from school and need to be re-engaged; through to young people who are already performing well and have the potential to be amongst the highest performers in our society.
