Investing in Leaders: Cross-Sector mentoring opportunities
Through ‘Investing in Leaders’, ACEVO is striving to remove the barriers which exist for third sector leaders to access leadership development opportunities. Sharing expertise and experience is a free and effective way of enhancing strengths, inspiring new thoughts and actions. Connecting with leaders from public and private sector organisations will also allow you to build valuable relationships, and insight into areas you may wish to influence. These activities also provide the public and private sector an opportunity to invest their time intelligently and sustainably in the leadership of the third sector.
ACEVO has developed an exciting programme of mentoring and peer learning opportunities to connect third sector leaders with leaders from the public and private sector. Details of how to apply are below.
Investing Leaders is supported through Capacitybuilders Leadership and Governance workstream. This programme is open to all ACEVO Full and Associate members. As part of Capacitybuilders Leadership and Governance workstream, it is also open to any CEOs or senior managers working in third sector infrastructure or support organisations.
Mentoring Options
ACEVO has negotiated two twelve month cross sector options:
- NHS Peer Mentoring and Peer Action Learning

NHS Peer Mentoring and Peer Action Learning
Available through the ACEVO/Department of Health ‘In Better Health’ programme. This will be of interest to leaders of third sector organisations working in health and social care.
