WIG's Alumni Network builds on the relationships begun through our leadership programmes and people exchange activities - the WIG Leadership Programme (WLP), Senior Leaders Programme (SLP), WIG Women's Leadership Programme, Future Leaders Programme (FLP), People Exchange Activities, Charity Next Alumni and Friends of WIG - by developing networks across a diverse and growing community of alumni.

The network aims to help alumni maintain relationships, build new contacts and continue their development as leaders by offering a range of activities and ways of keeping in touch.
