Our next big project will take place in Tees Valley to deliver targeted interventions for leaders and organisations in the region. We are therefore delighted to see ACE investment in the region increase by two-thirds, including 3 new NPOs and 2 new ISPOs. It is the sort of investment which recognises the great things already going on in Tees Valley as well as the great potential that exists. Having been engaging with Stakeholders in Tees Valley over the past year, Clore Leadership are pleased to be supporting this growth over the next two years.

We are nearing the end of mapping sector need across the 5 local authorities in the region, through conversations, an online survey and roundtable events ahead of training and events starting in early 2023.
