Future Leaders Programme – 2025/26 Cohort Announced

We’re excited to announce the new cohort for our 2025–26 Future Leaders Programme, which officially kicks off in July 2025 in London. This year’s group brings together emerging professionals from across housing, health, and social care for a year-long journey of leadership development and learning!

We are grateful to SNG (Sovereign Network Group) for sponsoring this year’s cohort. As a social housing provider with a strong commitment to community impact and leadership development, SNG is an ideal partner to help us deliver this programme. Their values align closely with our mission to empower the next generation of leaders through authentic, experience-driven learning.

Throughout the year, participants will engage in a series of in-person and online sessions, where they will gain valuable insights from senior industry leaders. Each session will explore the invited guests’ own personal journeys, who or what influenced them, challenges they have faced, and the unique leadership qualities they have developed along the way. The programme encourages open dialogue, peer learning, and reflection, and concludes with each participant contributing a blog to share their key insights and takeaways.

In the meantime, check out blogs from past participants below to see the impact of the programme in action.

Faye Sanders, Doctoral Researcher at the University of Bath and 2024/25 Future Leaders Participant, said:

"My time on the Future Leaders programme has been incredibly rewarding. It offered countless opportunities for personal and professional growth, and I’ve come away with not only valuable skills but also meaningful friendships. I’m especially grateful to Jeremy, Alice, Sally, Jerome, and the wider team for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout. The housing sector is facing some complex challenges, but the programme has given me renewed confidence for tackling them head-on."
