The Footholds Programme
The Footholds Programme is the additional strategic input on offer to innovators alongside the financial support they receive.
​
Our goal at Footwork is to build a network of social innovators with the skills, confidence and collaborators to bring about significant change tailored to the needs of their community. We know from experience the cumulative power such initiatives can wield in creating more resilient communities.
Footholds is about ...
... helping innovators strengthen their work ‘behind the scenes’
- strategy, impact, communications, partnerships, fundraising, governance and team development -
and establish the building blocks that will set the innovator and their initiative on the path to long-term success.
Our focus at Footwork is in supporting people and their bold ideas for change.
This is why we offer a range of strategic support as part of our People & Place funding.
The Footholds Programme offers support at crucial points in the development of an idea, helping achieve sustainable success.
