Eleanor Harrison steps down as CEO

After four years leading Impetus, Eleanor has decided to step down as CEO.

Under her leadership, Impetus has grown its impact, influence and income. Today we support more charities than ever to reach more young people facing disadvantage in education and work. This has included the launch of two new funds focused on school exclusions and race equity in youth employment, ensuring the organisation supports charities in a more equitable way, and that those young people who are furthest from the labour market continue to get the most support.

We wish Eleanor the best of luck with all her future endeavours, and extend our deepest gratitude for all of the work she has done at Impetus to help us more effectively support frontline charities to deliver impact through their work.
