Leadership development is a core objective for ACEVO. However, the opportunities available are often inaccessible to many sector leaders. ACEVO believes it is vital for CEOs and managers to invest in their leadership and professional development.
In partnership with the Big Lottery Fund, ACEVO has developed a number of bursary opportunities to enable third sector CEOs and managers to meet their leadership potential.

- 50 - 100% funding of 60 places on ACEVO’s regional one-day workshops on Leadership and Governance, Procurement and Commissioning, Strategic Planning for Executive Teams, and Full Cost Recovery
