Trailblazers Starters Surgeries

Trailblazers Starters Fellowships - Applications for the 2017-18  are open!

What is a trailblazer? An innovative leader in a field; a pioneer.
A person who blazes a trail for others to follow through unsettled country or wilderness. Trailblazers features two strands of development, which alternate annually:

Starters for first time applicants in the early stages of their careers, who demonstrate creative spark, ambition and leadership potential; and Champions for past recipients of the fellowship who have demonstrated strong leadership and entrepreneurial spirit.

Each participant receives

• A bursary towards a project of their choice (£2000 for Starters and £3000 for Champions*)
  *Champions must seek match funding or support in kind of a minimum of £1500.
• A tailored development programme including training, career coaching, mentoring and peer learning
• A range of networking opportunities
• An opportunity to share their learning in a public showcase
