The CU Futures leadership programme has officially opened applications for its 2027 cohort, marking its 11th year of supporting emerging leaders from across the credit union movement.
Delivered by the Credit Union Foundation, CU Futures continues to play a vital role in developing the next generation of talent, equipping participants with the skills, confidence and networks needed to drive the sector forward.
