LEx Leaders Development Programme, running from September 2022 to March 2023.

The modules cover broad topics that are critical to good organisation management and will be delivered at an introductory level by skilled and experienced providers including EW Accounting, Birmingham Voluntary Services Council, BlueSky Coaching and Training Personified.

Background to the LEx Leaders Development Programme:
The National Lottery's Leaders with Lived Experience Programme aims to support lived experience (LEx) leaders and their organisations to be central to recovery and renewal efforts as we move through and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
The National Lottery said; “The programme builds on the Leaders with Lived Experience Pilot Programme and is part of a wider journey to share power with communities, improve perceptions of LEx and create parity between different types of knowledge and experience. The impetus for the programme, its shape and vision, came from witnessing the commitment, innovation and resilience of the pilot cohort, particularly in the early stages of the crisis when mainstream organisations were retreating. This confirmed that LEx experience leadership needs to be at the forefront of strategies for the future of civil society."
Catalyst 4 Change said; “At Catalyst, we believe that to successfully renew civil society it is imperative that we make access to services equal and that those services are culturally representative and responsive. We believe that we can only affect meaningful change by empowering and equipping grassroots African and Caribbean communities to provide high quality, culturally relevant, mental wellbeing services and by co-producing and co-designing statutory mental health services.”
