Ellie Palma-Cass

Ellie is the founder and CEO of the multi award-winning suicide prevention organisation EPiC HOPE, with a background in charity management, frontline support, and international children’s work. She is a Churchill Fellow 2025, an author, speaker and campaigner and I’m all in when it comes to helping people create hope and helping them turn pain into purpose.

Her personal interests are writing, art (whether looking at it or delving into some therapeutic stuff), animals, hiking, history, and being out in nature. She describes herself as quite crazy about history, loves an adventure, and she’s the happiest when she’s exploring somewhere beautiful and a little bit wild. She is also very inspired by stories of survival, tenacity, and what it means to begin again’

‘I’m over the moon about being selected for the programme. It’s an opportunity that I do not take for granted. I will give it my all and hope to make a good contribution too in being part of this group. I’m so excited and feel privileged and very grateful.’
