3. About us

ACEVO managed the selection of the working group, whose discussions form the basis of this report. The opportunity was advertised to ACEVO members via a call for expressions of interest circulated in ACEVO’s weekly member newsletter, Leader to leader, and on ACEVO social media channels. The working group brought together CEOs from across a range of different organisations to discuss how CEOs can support their staff and volunteers alongside performance management and business interests. The final group met 4 times between December 2019 and July 2020. You can view the membership of the group here.

This report is based on conversational evidence from discussions between CEOs about their time working in the sector. We did not conduct formal research as part of this project, and this summary report is therefore not representative of the whole VCSE sector. However, we hope it contextualises why there are particular challenges around workforce
well-being for the voluntary sector, and how leaders can use their power to drive change.

We welcome input and feedback on the report. Please contact Maisie Hulbert on maisie.hulbert@acevo.org.uk if you have any thoughts or contributions.
