Building the financial resilience of leaders in the third sector

CO3 is delighted to announce a new leadership programme funded through the National Lottery Community Fund.

The new programme will offer tailored support to up to 30 third sector leaders, with a customised mentoring programme, providing the selected leaders with a Mentor over an eighteen-month timeframe to develop and enhance their fundraising and income generation skills.

In addition, to the dedicated support of a Mentor, Mentees will also have access to a range of practical courses that fall under the broad umbrella of income generation.

Our Mentees will operate at CEO or Senior Management level within their organisation. There is no cost to participate in the programme. However, it will require a significant investment of time.

The transformational programme will provide tailored support to leaders to help change their organisation's income model creating a more sustainable future over 18 months.

There is no cost to participate in the programme. However, it will require a significant investment of time.

We are now seeking applications for both Mentors and Mentees for the programme due to start in 2021.
