Good Growth in People and SDG 4 Quality Adult Education** with over 500 leaders engaged across all our programmes and services. Our LEAD™ – GOLD™ – GAIN™ and LEADlight programmes continue to be our main focus and remain most popular. Since our last Positive Impact Report, we have graduated LEAD™ Cohorts 23 and 24, GOLD™ Cohort 12 and GAIN™ Cohort 7, while LEAD™ Cohorts 25 and 26 and GOLD™ Cohorts 13 and 14 have begun their leadership development journeys. GAIN™ Cohort 8 commenced their journey in early 2026. We are also working with an increasing number of far-sighted organisations who wanted to embrace technology to develop their people. We have created bespoke in-house programmes mixing our extensive How-To range with in-person workshops. We have supported a number of business leaders on their path towards attaining an MBA with the University of Gloucestershire. With work-based projects ranging from high performance leadership, decision-making and digital transformation through to workplace wellbeing, we look forward to seeing them graduate in 2026. - ![QuoLux LEAD™ Cohort 23 Graduation](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/QuoLux-Cohort-23-Graduation-1.png?width=1691&height=1071&name=QuoLux-Cohort-23-Graduation-1.png) LEAD™ Cohort 23 - ![LEAD™ Cohort 24 Graduation](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LEAD-Cohort-24-Graduation-photo-October-2025.png?width=1186&height=791&name=LEAD-Cohort-24-Graduation-photo-October-2025.png)  LEAD™ Cohort 24 - ![GOLD Cohort 12 graduation](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GOLD%20Cohort%2012%20graduation.jpg?width=1600&height=1200&name=GOLD%20Cohort%2012%20graduation.jpg)  GOLD™ Cohort 12  - ![GAIN Cohort 7 Graduation group photo](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GAIN%20C7%20Graduation%20group%20photo.jpg?width=1600&height=987&name=GAIN%20C7%20Graduation%20group%20photo.jpg) GAIN™ Cohort 7 - ![LEAD™ Cohort 25 Overnight Experiential](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Social%20Imagery/Cohort%2025%20Overnight%20Experiential%204by3.jpg?width=1600&height=1200&name=Cohort%2025%20Overnight%20Experiential%204by3.jpg) LEAD™ Cohort 25 - ![LEAD Cohort 26 at their Overnight Experiential](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LEAD%20Cohort%2026%20at%20their%20Overnight%20Experiential.jpg?width=1094&height=649&name=LEAD%20Cohort%2026%20at%20their%20Overnight%20Experiential.jpg) LEAD™ Cohort 26 - ![GOLD™ Cohort 13 Masterclass](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GOLD%20Cohort%2013%20%20Masterclass.jpg?width=1518&height=1010&name=GOLD%20Cohort%2013%20%20Masterclass.jpg) GOLD™ Cohort 13 - ![GOLD™ Cohort 14 VCSE Alliance SMG meeting](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/GOLD%20Cohort%2014%20Growth%20Hub%20VCSE%20SMG.jpg?width=1600&height=1200&name=GOLD%20Cohort%2014%20Growth%20Hub%20VCSE%20SMG.jpg) GOLD™ Cohort 14 - ![MF Freeman Cohort 2 How-To final review session](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MFF%20C2%20final%20review%20session.jpg?width=1600&height=681&name=MFF%20C2%20final%20review%20session.jpg) MF Freeman Cohort 2 How-To review session - ![Geoff Newsome Peer Support Award-3-1](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Social/Geoff%20Newsome%20Peer%20Support%20Award-3-1.jpeg?width=3600&height=2232&name=Geoff%20Newsome%20Peer%20Support%20Award-3-1.jpeg) Geoff Newsome, CEO, ITSA Digital Trust - ![Simon-Weaver-Gloucester-Rugby-Foundation](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Simon-Weaver-Gloucester-Rugby-Foundation.jpg?width=2712&height=1937&name=Simon-Weaver-Gloucester-Rugby-Foundation.jpg) Simon Weaver, Head of Charitable Delivery, Gloucester Rugby Charitable Foundation - ![ITSA Digital Trust Social Value Business Club](https://news.quolux.com/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/ITSA%20Digital%20Trust%20Social%20Value%20Business%20Club.png?width=2000&height=1209&name=ITSA%20Digital%20Trust%20Social%20Value%20Business%20Club.png) Social Value Business Club, ITSA Digital Trust **2. Good Growth** **in Community and SDG 17 Partnerships** with the launch of our Scholarship for developing leaders in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors (VCSE). Four leaders from two charities, a social enterprise and a foundation joined our programmes. Here are what two delegates said: “I and my organisation are enormously grateful to QuoLux™ for the lessons and tools I learned on the LEAD™ programme. I would encourage leaders at all stages of their career to take up the course.” Geoffrey Newsome, CEO, ITSA Digital Trust ** ** “I feel incredibly fortunate to have been offered a scholarship place on the LEAD™ programme. From the very first session, it has captured my interest and reshaped my understanding of what effective leadership truly is. Since beginning the course, I’ve found myself exploring new ideas while being stretched and challenged - always at my own pace and with consistent support. I’ve had the opportunity to meet leaders at various stages of their careers and from a wide range of backgrounds and industries. LEAD™ is exceptional and I am looking forward to continuing my learning and journey with the brilliant QuoLux™ team.” Simon Weaver, Head of Charitable Delivery, Gloucester Rugby Foundation ** **   Our Vision is Gloucestershire being a place where thousands of businesses and charities work together creating social value and business value that has transformed lives of communities, the environment and employees; where innovation of partnerships has led to the county being a beacon of good growth, in terms of people, place, planet, profit and performance. We have invested further in Good Dividends and [**www.gooddividends.com**](http://www.GoodDividends.com) where we ensure free access to our SDG Configurator for leaders of any size of organisations to consider relevant Sustainable Development Goals and targets. Our Good Dividends DigiTools are at the core of 3 anchor procurement groups in the UK. We will make a major announcement in early 2026 bringing this successful initiative into Gloucestershire. This is a crucial next step towards realising our Vision for the county. We were pleased to become both a founding partner of the ITSA Digital Trust Social Value Business Club and address an audience of 60 leaders discussing how social value and business value can be enhanced through purpose-led leadership.  **3.
