H.O.P.E Leadership Programme
If you are a Black or Racialised staff member working in the Violence Against Women Sector (VAWG) this 12-Week Leadership Programme is for YOU!
H.O.P.E Training and Consultancy is working to address systemic barriers to colleagues from racialised communities entering the sector, and remaining as part of the workforce and progressing to leadership opportunities.
The H.O.P.E VAWG Leadership Programme focuses on four key objectives:
- Increase diversity in leadership
- Improve retention
- Develop skills
- Provide networking opportunities
Recognising a lack of diversity in the workforce and inadequate opportunities for professionals from racialised communities is a prominent issue across the not-for-profit sector.
Launched in 2021 the Drive Partnership commissioned H.O.P.E Training and Consultancy in 2022 to research the views and experiences of nearly 50 frontline staff from racialised communities and over 40 sector leaders working within specialist domestic abuse perpetrator services and organisations.
Those from By & For Organisations have been funded by City Bridge.
Cohort 4 H.O.P.E Leadership Programme
This incredible cohort would not have been possible without the generous support of MOPAC, City Bridge, and Drive Partnership, whose funding has enabled us to continue this vital work. Their commitment to developing strong, informed leaders in the VAWG sector demonstrates the power of partnership in creating lasting social impact.
The showcase highlighted the remarkable journey these leaders have taken. When Cohort 4 participants first began the program, they identified clear areas where they wanted to grow. An impressive 69% sought clarity on leadership models and styles, 62% were eager to learn more about navigating funding landscapes, and 50% wanted to deepen their understanding of workplace psychology. These weren’t just statistics—they represented real aspirations from passionate individuals ready to level up their leadership capabilities.
