The Fellowship
Inspiring and enabling generations of Rank’s Network to make a positive impact on society.
The Fellowship is an alumni network of cross-sector leaders who were supported by the Rank Foundation in their youth.
The Fellowship was created in 2003 by Fred Packard, the grandson of Rank’s founder Arthur Rank, to harness the Fellows experience and expertise for the benefit of the social sector.
The Fellowship has over 600 active members. Some are recipients of our School Leadership Award, some were participants in the Time to Shine programme; all were recognised for their leadership potential.
By retaining an affiliation with Rank through their careers, Fellows can access opportunities to contribute to the voluntary sector, as well as support and inspiration from other Fellows.
Connecting Leaders
There are lots of ways that Fellows can connect with Rank and other Fellows both online and in person.
RankNet
The digital member’s platform RankNet is the place to stay connected with Rank’s Network. Fellows should visit RankNet for opportunities to network, hear about events, share ideas and problem solve with a diverse group of leaders. For access please email ranknet@rankfoundation.com
Fellowship LinkedIn group
The Fellowship has an active LinkedIn group that all Fellows are encouraged to join and participate in.
Events
We hold a variety of events each year that:
- Inspire Fellows to make a positive impact on society
- Provide mentoring and support for Fellows on their educational and career journeys
- Foster links with the rest of Rank’s thriving Network of Fellows and social sector leaders
