2 x £50,000 funding opportunity update. (THIS IS NOW CLOSED)

The National Leadership Network (NLN) aims to support organisations to run projects which support positive outcomes for individuals (14+) in the care experience community. Our focus is to fund projects which support leadership opportunities and experiences which relate to personal and professional development.

We received a large number of Expressions of Interest (EOI) forms for this funding opportunity and then the National Leadership Network Steering Group asked for several to make full applications. The Steeing Group has now awarded two projects £50,000 to run exciting leadership projects in the care experience community over the next 2 years. More information on this will shared by the NLN in due course.

PLEASE NOTE: There is currently no project funding opportunities available.

The Steering Group are now finalising work around our Individual Grants which will be the next stage of our funding strategy. Please check here and on our social media platforms for more information.

This funding opportunity is part of the National Leadership Network Funding Strategy, 2024-26 which has been produced by our Steering Group.

Please check out the strategy here.
