The third sector is changing fast. As leaders we know how important it is to keep pace with the challenges and opportunities presented. 

That is why ACOSVO is launching this new series of Leader Learning events that focus on specific developmental and learning themes and comprise short, sharp seminars led by subject matter experts followed by peer discussion and input.

ACOSVO are looking for expressions of interest from FULL members who wish to use their skills and experience through becoming Trustees.

If you are passionate about Scotland’s third sector and would like to help us achieve our mission “Shape the future of Scotland’s third sector by providing every leader with the opportunities to develop, influence and excel”, please contact jayne.stuart@acosvo.org.uk in the first instance.

Studies in Northern Ireland and the United States have found that up to 45% of Chief Officers intend to leave their post within the next five years.

We are interested in finding out what these numbers look like in Scotland, and what relevant services ACOSVO can offer to support the sector in this regard.

Whether you are considering leaving your post or not we would really appreciate your input into this short survey.

The Path to Impact project is designed to assess and strengthen the capacity of third sector organisations in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

50 third sector organisations were selected in Scotland and 50 in Northern Ireland to participate in this unique, three-year pilot, which is supported with a grant of £358,810 from the Big Lottery Fund and now you can read about how the first phase of this collaborative project has gone.
