**The Cares Family has just launched its second cohort of The Multiplier – a programme
to invest in, support, and connect leaders bringing people together in their communities.

It is looking for 10 leaders to be part of nine workshops over eight months (some
online, some face-to-face) to help them to adapt, grow and multiply their initiatives
as well as to deepen and broaden their impact. They will also receive a £7,000 grant
and coaching, and introductions to new networks.The closing date for [applications to The Multiplier](https://www.thecaresfamily.org.uk/the-multiplier/apply)
is 23 January at 23.59. Anyone interested in finding out more can also join an [Information Session](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-multiplier-information-session-tickets-232061029787)
on 14 January from 12pm to 1pm.

Since it launched in 2011, The Cares Family has built five local charities – [North London Cares](http://www.northlondoncares.org.uk/),
[South London Cares](http://www.southlondoncares.org.uk/), [Manchester Cares](http://www.manchestercares.org.uk/),
[Liverpool Cares](http://www.liverpoolcares.org.uk/) and [East London Cares](http://www.eastlondoncares.org.uk/)–
to help tackle loneliness and bring people together.  

It launched national project The Multiplier last January to help deepen its impact
by providing an opportunity for local leaders to adapt, grow and multiply their 
initiatives that also have this aim. Over five years, The Multiplier will invest
in 50 people building bridges in their communities.
