We provide an inspiring, collective influencing voice for our members. We represent our members’ interests and influence our members in areas of key importance to civil society.
ACEVO helps to shape the agenda and is a conduit for civil society leaders’ voices in the places that matter. By encouraging and providing a space for discussion, we lead the improvement of the sector and stronger leadership and achieve political change by influencing and pursuing reforms.
Current influencing priorities
ACEVO is working closely with NCVO and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to develop a framework for a Civil Society Covenant to reset the relationship between civil society and government to create lasting, positive change.
We are constantly working to break down the barriers and bias that exist in our sector and create unequal workplaces.
We not only want to inspire and work alongside our members but also improve our internal procedures to tackle the climate crisis
We are representing our members’ voices through engaging with Westminster, working with regulators and civil society stakeholders’.
We believe that good regulation is enabling, inclusive and transparent, and balance enforcement and support. Their leadership teams include people with voluntary sector expertise.
Previous influencing topics
We analysed the conditions in which bullying occurs in the sector and used this understanding to create initiatives that will result in safer workplace cultures.
We published resources to support civil society leaders to better understand the impact of the crisis on their organisations, stakeholders and the sector at large.
We helped to drive change in the commissioning environment to help create a more balanced system that better serves communities.
