Growing leadership

I'm a 1/3 of the way through some really exciting training that I'm running on behalf of the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership. The training is taking the form of 10 sessions held across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin. Participants are mainly leaders of Charities and Private Sectors with some Local Authority colleagues too.

There is some fascinating issues emerging about how some of these leaders are working flat out to respond to some of the massive impacts on their sector. There's been a number of Community Interest Companies there which has been interesting to see the perspective they bring too.

The focus of the training is to get the voluntary and private sector working on how they might be able to form a consortia to be able to access European and Lottery funding through the Building Better Opportunities fund.

On top of all of that, it's a great opportunity to  build relationships with about 70 Charities in the region!
