**The Clore Duffield Foundation is to invest £1.5 million over three years to create
the Clore Social Leadership Programme, an initiative to develop and encourage emerging
talent in the third sector.**

The Programme is designed to find and provide support for talented individuals to
prepare them to meet the challenges of leadership. Participants will become Fellows
of the Clore Social Leadership Programme.

The Programme is based on the cultural Clore Leadership Programme, which was founded
four years ago under the Directorship of Lord Smith.

Each Clore Fellowship will be tailor-made for the participant, including formal 
leadership training, specialist training bursaries, secondments, a research period
and access to a mentor.

The Programme will be free to participants and organisations with participants on
the scheme will be compensated for time spent away.

The Foundation expects that the Programme will open to applicants in early 2009.

The Paul Hamlyn Foundation has already agreed a contribution of £70,000 to fund 
a Fellowship for the first two years, and other funders are being invited to assist
the Programme.

Dame Vivien Duffield, Founder and Patron, said: “Having discovered over the last
four years what can be achieved in raising the game for the cultural sector, it 
has long been my intention to develop leadership for the whole of the third sector.”
