THE CLORE SOCIAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME 

The Clore Social Leadership Programme is an independent charity created as an initiative of the Clore Duffield Foundation. The Programme aims to support aspiring leaders in the third sector who are working for the benefit of individuals and progressive social change in communities across the UK. The Programme recruits Fellows through an open application process.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 14 years
