About us

The Cultural Leadership Programme (CLP) is a Government-funded investment in excellence in leadership across the creative and cultural sectors.

It supports an ambitious range of activities, opportunities and resources to nurture and develop emerging to established world class, dynamic and diverse leaders for the 21st Century.

This key support from the Government acknowledges the particular value of the cultural and creative sectors within the UK economy. It is targeted to strengthen the impact of these sectors through investing in its leadership now and for the future.

Three sector lead organisations, Arts Council England, Creative & Cultural Skills and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council have formed the Cultural Leadership Delivery Partnership, a unique cross-sector collaboration to support the Programme. The partnership draws on existing resources, shared expertise, and ensures that the programme provides value for money and maximum impact.
