Shaping the Future: A Fund to Support Leadership in the Migration Sector

Organisations and groups working in the UK refugee and migration sector can apply. It is not a requirement to be a registered charity, however, all funding received must be spent on charitable purposes. Individuals, organisations and collaborative partnerships must be UK based, led by or be collaborating with leaders with lived experience of the UK refugee and migration sector. Organisations and collaborative partnerships must have a safeguarding policy or safe practice guidelines.

The funding is focused on projects aiming to: · Develop the capacity and capability of leaders in the migration sector; supporting leaders to develop their knowledge and skill set to become better leaders. · Support the wellbeing of leaders in the migration sector. · Advocate for systemic change in the migration sector and centre sustainability. The funding can be used for several different things including but not limited to: · Pathways for entry and career development in migration organisations. · Skill, knowledge, resources and access building for individuals working in the sector. · Curated spaces for collective healing, rest and joy building. · Strategic partnerships. · Communications and storytelling work. · Opportunities for co-creation and participatory approaches to work. · Wellbeing support for those working in the sector. Through this initiative, organisations and individuals can design and tailor their own leadership programmes or approaches to meet the specific needs of their teams and communities.
