Applications for the 2017 Clore Social Leadership Fellowship are now open. This year the programme is urging the social sector to help find the next generation of leaders by nominating the most talented people in their organisations to apply - people who they believe can make social change happen.

Now in it’s eighth year, the programme is for emerging leaders who are committed to transforming their organisations, the sector and the wider community. To date, 125 emerging leaders have completed the Fellowship, and this year the dynamic 12-month programme is open to people across the sector encompassing both general and specialist Fellowships.

‘We are thrilled to open applications today to find the next generation of social leaders’, said Shaks Ghosh, Chief Executive of Clore Social Leadership. ‘The aim of our programme is to generate collaborative leaders who will effectively guide their organisations and the sector through today’s social challenges to rebuild trust.’

The programme will also support a specialist Older People’s fellowship – aimed at a social leader seeking to improve the lives of older people

The deadline for applications is midday on Monday 5 September 2016 and applications can be made via the programme’s website
