Introduction

Thank you for considering the Arrow Leadership Programme. All the information requested helps us to make a prayerful and considered decision. Please be sure to complete it thoughtfully and with care. Rushed applications rarely do the applicant any favours.

Please note that we anticipate the vast majority of people applying will be eminently suitable. However, there are certain criteria we use to select participants to ensure a good balance in the group (for example, we are looking for a group across the target age range). Therefore we want to remind all applicants that application does not in any way guarantee acceptance onto the Programme.

If you require any assistance please contact Andy Hewitt (Arrow Director) on director@arrowleadership.ie or +44 7739 891691 or Diane Lyons (Programme Administrator) on admin@arrowleadership.ie +353 (0)87 945 3235

Be assured that throughout the process we are praying for each applicant.

APPLICATIONS FOR ALP7 ARE WELCOME

Financial Information

The fee for the Arrow Leadership Programme 7 has not yet been finally set but based on the programme budget will be in the region of €3000 or the sterling equivalent. . This does not reflect the full value of Arrow, we apply to other sources of funding to reduce the cost. We are aware though that this is still a significant amount of money. We are anxious that considerations of cost should not prevent anyone from applying for Arrow. There are a number of sources that previous participants have drawn from such as; personal funds, local church support, denominational grants, organisational support, and gifts.

From time to time we get information on support funds that we might be able to access as an organisation, or that participants might be able to apply for, we will keep you up to dates with such information. Following the offer of a place on the Arrow programme we ask for a non-refundable deposit followed by payments to be made prior to each residential.
