Origins
Following a feasibility trip to the US and seeing the work of New Leaders, Future Leaders Charitable Trust was set up in 2006 as an independent charity by Absolute Return for Kids, National College for School Leadership, and The Schools Network. These organisations shared the vision for a leadership programme to improve the life chances of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. Key people involved in establishing the organisation included Lord Adonis, who provided support from Government, and Jay Altman and Sir Iain Hall helped to design the initial programme. Heath Monk is currently CEO of the charity.
It became a registered charity on 15 November 2006, with charity number 1116801.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
