This is a valuable way to demonstrate your continuing professional development and to showcase your commitment to becoming an effective board member.
Bursary Support
We are delighted to announce that we are introducing a bursary scheme for our Trustee Leadership Programme. Bursary places are available to anyone who is from a background currently underrepresented in fundraising or governance, or who is unable to afford a full price place.
We know there are many reasons why increasing diversity on boards is important, and we are committed to doing our part to support this change.
We have developed two strands to this new offer:
- If you’d like to support us with our commitment to increasing representation, you can choose to add an extra £10 when booking to help us to offer even more places to those who would not otherwise be able to attend our training.
- If you’d like to be in receipt of a bursary place, you can get in touch with us we will ask you to submit a short expression of interest form. If you meet our requirements above, our bursary offer will reduce the price of a ticket to £10+VAT.
