The Clore Social Leadership Programme, established in 2008 by the Clore Duffield
Foundation as a new initiative to identify and develop emerging talent in the third
sector, is inviting applications for its first group of Fellowships.

Up to fifteen Fellowships will be awarded in the first year and the first programme
will begin in January 2010.

Applications are open to any UK resident who has substantial work or volunteering
experience within the third sector.

The Fellowships will last for one year, during which Fellows will attend two intensive
residential courses including a variety of site visits to “challenging contexts”.
They will receive individual tuition and mentoring, work on an extended outplacement
and have “an opportunity to engage in reflection and research”.

A bursary of up to £20,000 will be available to support Fellows or the organisations
which currently employ them. Direct associated costs, including tuition fees, will
be met by the Programme.

Five Fellowships are being co-funded with other organisations, and will be dedicated
to specific areas:

* The NESTA Fellowship for a Fellow interested in developing practical solutions
to gaps in the supply and demand for risk capital;

* The NHS Institute of Innovation and Improvement Fellowship for a Fellow working
within children’s or youth services in a role in direct contact with the NHS;

* The Office for the Third Sector Fellowship for a Fellow from black and minority
ethnic (BAME) backgrounds;

* The RNIB Fellowship for a registered blind or partially sighted Fellow;

* The Youth Sport Trust Fellowship for a Fellow working in or with the School Sport
Partnership network.

Dame Mary Marsh, Director of the Programme, said: “The Clore Social Leadership Programme
will equip the next generation of third sector leaders with the skills and confidence
to handle risk, manage complexity and make the most of opportunities to innovate
in the recession and beyond. We need diverse leaders with courage, passion and focus
to meet the growing needs of civil society”.

The Clore Duffield Foundation is contributing £1.5 million to the new Programme 
over its first three years. The Programme is also supported by funders including
the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and the funders of
the five specialist Fellowships listed above.

If blind or partially sighted people are interested in any of the Fellowships, but
are unable to access the website or online application form, they should contact
the Programme team on 020 7420 9408 or at in**@***********************rg.uk.

The closing date for applications is 30 June 2009, and interviews will be held between
7 September and 2 October 2009.
