Patrons & Ambassadors
The Institute is supported by a circle of distinguished individuals who believe in our mission and lend their name, voice and influence to our work. Alongside our trustees (who govern the Institute) and our Advisory Boards (who provide expert guidance), our Patrons and Ambassadors help raise our profile and extend our reach. They play different but complementary roles.
Our Patrons
A Patron is a distinguished individual who lends their name and standing to the Institute as a mark of confidence in our mission. The role is largely honorary: our Patrons are not involved in day-to-day activity or governance, but their association brings credibility, profile and prestige to our work, and signals the seriousness of what we are building. We are deeply honoured by their support.

Our Ambassadors
An Ambassador takes a more active role, championing the Institute and helping us reach new audiences. Our Ambassadors use their platforms, networks and voices to raise awareness of our work, to speak at or attend our events, to support our campaigns, and to advocate for better learning wherever they can. They help bring our mission to life and carry it to people we might not otherwise reach.
