Supporting leaders
We know that charity leaders are under
immense pressure and are working in
a constantly changing and challenging
operating environment.
They often feel isolated and need to be and feel
supported. Peer to Peer Exchange provides charity
leaders with a place of mutual support where challenges
and development needs can be shared in con昀椀dence.
Peer to Peer participants learn from the experience and
knowledge of others in a safe environment, helping to
enhance and develop their leadership con昀椀dence and
skills. The groups are facilitated by trained Cran昀椀eld
Trust volunteers who support each group over six
meetings.
Our volunteer facilitators have generously supported
12 Peer to Peer Exchange groups during the year,
comprised of 65 CEO and senior leader participants.
We have received very positive feedback with 100% of
participants saying they would recommend this service
to others as well as giving high ratings for their learning
and satisfaction with our Peer to Peer Exchange.
“Involvement in the Cran昀椀eld Trust Peer
to Peer programme has signi昀椀cantly
enriched Opportunity Sports Foundation
by enhancing our professional capacity and
introducing innovative concepts to further
our mission. Through this programme,
the Foundation has been able to leverage
expert guidance and support to re昀椀ne our
operations and strategic direction.

“The Peer to Peer support provided
was incredible, the relationship that we
managed to develop as a group which
was facilitated by Nadine wasn’t expected
but became central to my development.
Signi昀椀cantly, I was able to be more honest
and know that I wasn’t going to be judged
and my peers would support as best they
could.”
