t is exciting to see a new wave of social and political
enthusiasm in the Church today, bringing with it real hope for
the future. Supporting this surge of Christian involvement is
CAREs Institute for Faith & Culture (IFC) and its long-standing
eadership Programme.
Combining cutting-edge Christian thinking with the
ractical experience of voluntary educational placements,
the Programme equips graduates to think seriously about
our faith, our increasingly secular culture, and how they
t together.
ore than 220 people have now graduated through the
Programme and are making a real contribution to their world;
playing their part in changing the future. I hope you will
consider joining them!
There is no doubt in my mind that the establishment of the
Leadership Programme is one of the most strategic decisions
CARE has ever made.
Christian graduates are given the opportunity to explore how
to live out their faith as they meet and learn from leaders in
the public arena; and actively engage in the world of policy,
whether in Westminster, in Edinburgh, in the media, or in the
third sector.
In my travels I now meet past members of the Programme who
testify that it has equipped them for a lifetime of integrity and
service; making a Christian difference in positions of significant
influence in the institutions of our national life.

How Does it Work? lacementsThe Leadership Programme begins with an Induction
commencing in early September which provides the
foundation for the ensuing eleven months.
Each term is roughly 13 weeks long and comprises of
volunteering in an educational placement for four days
a week, attending a day of lectures and seminars every
riday, one residential Study Weekend and several
additional daytime and evening events.
You will be required to engage in project work, presentations
and essays each term, with the intention of consolidating what
you are learning.
As this is purely an educational Programme, particpiants
are at no time asked to lobby on behalf of CARE.
For nearly twenty years, graduates have been placed in a
variety of voluntary placements in parliament, the media and the
third sector. Graduates are given the opportunity to engage in aange of activities including research, public relations, marketing,
drafting press releases and speeches, administrative tasks, film
production and advocacy and campaigning.
CARE has enjoyed excellent placement partnerships over the
years and demand for our volunteers constantly outstrips our
ability to supply them.

members have been involved with over the past few years go to:

number are now active in politics, some are MPs and others
