David Coughtrie Young Leader Award
David Coughtrie Young Leader Award
It is with immense pride and honour that we congratulate Samie John, ELBA’s EquiBalance Programme Manager, who, in December 2024, was the deserving recipient of the prestigious David Coughtrie Young Leader Award.
ELBA is grateful to Barings, our funders, for supporting this impactful programme for the third consecutive year. Equibalance exists to inspire and empower individuals, and we are incredibly proud of the positive influence it has had on our students and the community we serve.
We also want to thank, in particular, Elizabeth Cooper and Sean Allen, for their unwavering stewardship and belief in ELBA and Equibalance’s mission. The continued partnership and support provided by Barings and indeed Elizabeth Cooper and Sean Allen, enables us to raise aspirations, shift mindsets, and redefine perspectives on talent. Equibalance, now in its third year, has already empowered countless individuals, equipping them to make informed and meaningful decisions about their career paths.
And finally, we say huge thanks to the many volunteers who have generously dedicated their time and expertise to supporting our students. Your interventions are invaluable. If you would like to join our family of mentors, please get in touch!
Equibalance is one of ELBA’s many social mobility programmes aimed at supporting those from less advantaged and low socio-economic backgrounds.
