Forum for the Future prize

Sara Parkin, founder director of Forum for the Future, where Richard was a founder Trustee and latterly Chair, has set up the Richard Sandbrook Memorial Prize. 

Since 1996, Forum has been training future leaders through its Masters in Leadership for Sustainable Development. After more than 10 years, many graduates are already making their mark as NGO directors, CSR and other senior managers in business, government advisers, or social entrepreneurs.

At the heart of the 10-month programme are workplace learning experiences that forge the link between the concept of sustainability and its practical application in the real world. The Sandbrook prize is awarded each year (£500 at present) to the graduate judged by their peers as 'the most likely to succeed'.

Richard's wife Mary is planning to present the 2007 prize.
