Developed with Richmond CVS, ACEVO and Clear Thinking Consultancy, this six-month programme aims to retain talent within Richmond’s Voluntary and Community Sector, strengthen peer support and provide a pipeline of senior leaders. Running from September 2024 to March 2025, the programme includes:

  • Enrolment on three-month ACEVO Aspiring CEOs programme, student membership of the Institute of Leadership Management (ILM), an ILM accredited certificate of achievement on completion and upgrade to ILM professional membership for a further nine months.
  • One-year ACEVO Associate membership with access to further training and extensive resources including a well-established mentoring offer: www.acevo.org.uk/about
  • Online group coaching every fortnight for three months, tailored and facilitated by clearthinkingconsultancy.com/coaching
  • Two in-person socials to bring our Future Leaders together, including their line managers (CEO or Trustee) to strengthen local peer networks.

Following a robust application and selection process, places were offered to a group of high calibre individuals who are aligned to the programme’s aims and well-placed to get the most out of the programme. We’ll be profiling each of them in turn – but for now, congratulations to our impressive Future Leaders cohort:
