Deadline for the Leading Learning Programme 2017 extended
Deadline: 
20th Jan 2017
Leading Learning is now in its 9th year and has supported over 130 senior managers working in culture, leisure and sport sector across the UK either in local authorities or in partner trusts and social enterprises.

The future of culture, leisure and sport provision for communities lies at the centre of the programme but with a focus on developing the leadership skills necessary to lead and sustain organisational change in these challenging times. As the pattern of local provision has changed in the light of funding reductions over a number of years now, we have also decided to extend the Programme’s reach to all those working in community development. The programme has been a critical factor in helping a number of individuals develop their careers and go on to achieve Director and Chief Executive roles.

“Participating in the LLP was the most valuable CPD that I have undertaken during my career. I would highly recommend the LLP to participants and authorities as now, given the scale of change local authorities are going through, these leadership qualities and skills are more vital than ever to ensure communities are at the heart of services going forward.”

(Alumni survey – Yr2 participant)
“If you are serious about personal development and want the 'top job' either within an organisation or leading your own then this programme is invaluable.”
(Alumni survey – Yr6 participant)
Each programme runs over a period of twelve months with between 12 and 16 people participating. The programme has five components: 
  • A 360-degree review of participants’ current leadership style.
  • Three residential sessions totalling 7 days facilitated by experienced tutors from Cass Business School and other academic and specialist consultancies.
  • Facilitated action learning sets with an Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) qualified facilitator.
  • A website which will contain all information pertaining to the taught elements, news and opportunity items, forums for participants, course lecturers and mentors.The address is www.ncfleadinglearning.co.uk
  • Most importantly all participants are offered one to one mentoring. Participants and mentors separately attend induction sessions, which allow them to explore a range of issues that may arise during a mentoring relationship.
The whole programme is externally evaluated and all participants, mentors, facilitators and lecturers will be asked to assist in this process by filling in interim and final questionnaires and by being prepared to be interviewed. A summative evaluation report of the first five years of the Programme is available on the website and on request from the Director. There is also an LGA supported brochure with interviews featuring the development stories of several alumni.
The programme is aimed at: 
  • senior managers of Culture, Leisure and Community Services in local government,
  • senior staff of agencies who work closely with local government
  • directors/senior managers of companies and trusts that deliver outsourced services for local authorities
  • senior managers of cultural and leisure organisations (both public and private sector) who wish to improve their ability to work in the political context
  • independent consultants who work with the sector and across local government
How much it costs
The subsidised cost in 2017 of each place is £4,000 + VAT for local authorities, charitable trusts and individual consultants and £5,000 + VAT for commercial companies and national cultural bodies. (The price has been kept stable for four years and this is the last year that the cost can remain at this level.)
For 2017 we are also offering 5 bursaries worth £500, bringing the price down to well below its true cost.  Please contact the Programme Director if you would like further details of these. We are also prepared to stagger invoicing so that fees can be spread across two financial years and even in monthly instalments.
Any questions on the programme, how to participate and where to get application forms can be addressed to Sue Isherwood, Director, NLCF Leading Learning Programme at [email protected]. or tel 01749 871110.

Funding for the restoration of historic buildings
Funding is available to restore historic buildings through the Heritage Lottery Fund's Heritage Enterprise grants programme. The programme provides grants to support not-for-profit organisations in partnership with the private sector for the restoration of unused historic building and sites. The programme provides grants where historic buildings have failed to attract enough investment because the cost of their repair has not been commercially viable for private developers. Through the programme, two levels of grants are available: 
  • Grants of between £100,000 and under £2 million;
  • Grants of between £2million and £5million.
Previous projects supported include the Globe, an Art Deco ‘super theatre' in the centre of Stockton on Tees, which will be transformed from a derelict eyesore into a 2500-seater live music and comedy venue with the potential to create 64 jobs.

For grant requests of over £100,000 and under £2million decisions are made every three months. For grant requests of between £2 million and up to £5 million the next closing date for stage one applications is the 16th March 2017.
