The Fellowship is an acknowledgment of the personal commitment and achievement of a select group of talented individuals through out the United Kingdom who have played a role in strengthening and enriching their communities. With the support of its members, the Fellowship is a national platform to promote the power of the individual to make a difference and to bring about positive social change.
