In the Partnership’s 40-year history, there hasn’t been a more successful year. Record high investment, job announcements, and business inquiries combined with increased net in-migration, new talent initiatives, a placemaking strategy that continues to pay dividends, and forward-thinking stakeholders, it’s easy to see why 2023 was our BIGGEST year yet.

We should never lose sight of the idea that most fundamental to a peaceful and prosperous society is the fulfillment of the hopes, aspirations and dreams that people have for themselves, family, friends and what they value most. Culture has always been a vital cornerstone, bringing joy, meaning and a prism of opportunity to express and engage with our inner selves and the people and ideas that surround, shape and reshape us. At The Leap, like many funding and support organisations we want to help people and places to thrive - to enable ordinary people, to have agency, to do extraordinary things that can make the biggest difference. But very often, people don't want to do big things, to scale, grow or change systems, they simply want to do things that just really matter to them in places and spaces that are.most meaningful to them. That's why I believe that small amounts of money often alongside volunteers and some well targeted help is equally as important as ideas that can generate investment and create impact at scale. At The Leap, collaborating with Calderdale Council, we are doing just that with The Leap into Culturedale Awards, to give people who may not otherwise, in areas with the least opportunity, step forward with creative ideas, and have a go at making meaning and bringing joy through arts, culture and heritage.

The chief of staff role has been growing in importance and popularity as the pressure on private and public sector leaders intensifies. To develop an empirical picture of the role, we analyzed publicly available data on approximately 250 chiefs of staff who have served in the role within the past eight years.
