We've begun exploring the idea of 'punk leadership' with out partners at ACOSVO, with a workshop at their recent members' day and a dinner that was hosted on 28th June. 

What do you do if your organisation is suddenly left with a gap in leadership? Or perhaps the Chief Executive is in need of support in times of crisis. There can be many reasons an organisation might be faced with this reality but whatever gap has been identified there is now a timely, highly effective service which provides third sector organisations with access to expert, experienced third sector Interim Executives to support leadership transition within third sector organisations.

This blog was written by Matt Lobo who volunteered with ACOSVO over a 5 month period while at University. All of us here at ACOSVO wish Matt all the best in the future and will miss his friendly face around the office.

"This internship has enabled me to learn new skills, apply my studies to a practical project, hear about the incredible people in the third sector and work with a welcoming and friendly staff team.

Over the past few weeks ACOSVO has had graduate volunteer Ben Rogers working with us. Here he discusses lessons learned from student life, and the potential benefits of a leadership exchange. (Originally published 05/09/17 in TFN).
