Access to the Windsor Leadership Trust is a Farmers Club Charitable Trust initiative to expose agriculturalists to leaders from a range of other industries. The idea is to take those involved in agriculture away from their everyday lives into an environment completely divorced from farming and food production and be exposed to others’ leadership practices from the military, clergy, charities, business and civil service amongst others.

The Farmers Club Charitable Trust support Windsor Leadership Trust in delivering four programmes; Emerging Strategic Leaders, Developing Leaders, Experienced Leaders and Women in leadership. Each reflects the experience of those participating from early senior leadership roles to those leading large and complex organisations. The leadership courses make use of the Windsor Leadership Trust facilities to develop the next generation of industry leaders, by taking potential rural champions beyond their normal sphere and exposing them to participants and facilitators in the wider world.

The programmes are two, three or five days plus a two day follow up six months later or a two day one off Women in Leadership programme. Costs range from £2240.00 to £5755.00 with bursaries available for suitable candidates for each programme. Funding is a combination of FCCT contributions and funding received from others including the Frank Parkinson Trust. 

Suitable programmes are dependent on an individuals’ experience both within their business and outside activities. There is an active WLT agricultural alumni who are holding regular Professional Forums with guest speakers at some of these.

Applicants are sought on an annual basis with interviews taking place at The Farmers Club during March.  Please direct initial enquiries to Lisa Turner - Awards Ambassador - ambassador@tfcct.co.uk
