Melanie May | 18 January 2017 | News
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Clore Leadership Programme have announced a three-year partnership that will see HLF provide a £96,000 grant to fund training and development opportunities for people looking to become leaders in the cultural sector.
HLF will fund a range of CLP’s Clore Fellowships and residential courses, which provide training and professional development opportunities to people working across the cultural sector.
The grant will provide:
- Two places on CLP’s Clore Fellowship programme – an in-depth and individually tailored development opportunity comprising mentoring, coaching, training and diverse work placements
- A part-funded Clore Fellowship for an exceptional employee of HLF
- Four places on Clore’s intensive, residential Short Courses
- Two bursaries on Emerging Leaders Courses for people who are in the earlier stages of their careers
Sir Peter Luff, chair of HLF, said:
“We are lucky to have an incredibly rich heritage across our country and a dedicated workforce ensuring it remains open and accessible to all. These grants will allow promising employees access to the support they need to keep this heritage thriving for future generations.”
