Now in its 5th year we welcome a revamped programme led by our new effectiveness coaches Vivianne Child and Moreen Pascal. We are looking for a group of 10x diverse organisations to take part from across the county, who will receive over £2,000 worth of fully funded professional coaching, resources and training for their senior leaders and boards, alongside 9 month’s of 1:1 mentoring from a leading professional from the Hertfordshire business sector. All costs are fully funded by our generous donors, all we ask is that you come prepared to fully participate in the programme and make the most of this opportunity.

Building Effectiveness is ideally suited to organisations looking to become more strategically focussed and better equipped to face the future. By the end of the programme participating organisations are more effective, resilient and strategic in their outlook. Successful applicants are assigned mentors to help them to identify their key development areas and plan a tailored development programme. Participants will also benefit from bespoke monthly Leadership Workshops and Better Boards training for their trustees.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your application please email louise.marron@hertscf.org.uk
