A limited number of fully funded places are available on a freshly launched, exciting programme for RPLC-funded, Richmond-based charities.

We’re delighted to have worked with Richmond Parish Lands Charity (RPLC) to help create Future Leaders.

Beginning in September 2024, the six-month programme aims to retain talent within Richmond’s voluntary and community sector (VCS), strengthen peer support and provide a pipeline of senior leaders for the future.

It will invest in the career and personal development of eight managers and Deputy CEOs who are employed by existing RPLC grantees and work in Richmond’s voluntary sector.

Including ACEVO student membership and programme enrolment, online coaching and in-person peer support and informal meetings, it will provide high quality career and personal development opportunities.

All eligible applications are welcome, particularly those from candidates who are currently underrepresented in local VCS leadership.

Applicants will be contacted in early June, after consideration by a selection panel which will include representatives from Richmond CVS and RPLC.

For full details, read the RPLC guidance here.

You can also email grants@rplc.org.uk or call 020 8948 5701 if you have any questions about the programme or if you’d like to discuss a potential application in more detail.

The closing date for applications is Friday 3 May 2024.
