Supporting and investing in inspirational leaders.

ACEVO runs specific programmes to support civil society leaders so they can inspire their own communities and make the biggest possible difference in other people’s lives, from staff to beneficiaries. 

9 September – 18 December 2024

The Aspiring CEOs programme will give delegates powerful practical skills and a sound base of leadership knowledge that will serve them well in current and future roles.

16 January – 19 June 2025

We know that the challenges of leadership are easier when you believe in yourself, and you have the right support around you. ACEVO is delighted to be working in partnership with Sarah Lynas on a newly launched pilot action learning set, specifically to provide a supportive and structured environment for growth, to overcome imposter syndrome, and build your confidence.

Aspiring CEOs programme

10 March – 6 June 2025

The Aspiring CEOs programme will give delegates powerful practical skills and a sound base of leadership knowledge that will serve them well in current and future roles.

15 May – 16 October 2025

Action learning sets provide a space for up to eight charity CEOs to gather together every month to explore the issues they are currently navigating. This cohort will remain the same for six months, so trust and mutual understanding grows over this period.

To pay homage to Jane Slowey, an inspiring charity CEO who was a powerful advocate for women in leadership, ACEVO memberships are provided for eight under-represented women leading a charity.
