Our Vision:

That Voluntary sector leadership in scotland is influential, resilient, and Trusted 

Established in 2000, ACOSVO is a membership organisation for voluntary sector leaders and senior staff in Scotland. We have a growing membership of over 750 leaders and this membership ranges from those who lead smaller, community-based organisations to those who head up some of the largest charities in Scotland.

ACOSVO holds a unique position being the only organisation of its kind in Scotland with its members comprising of the key decision and change makers in the sector.

By offering a wide range of services, networks, personal and professional development opportunities, and relevant member benefits, we’re here for voluntary sector leaders at every stage of their leadership journey.

We believe that by supporting and championing the leaders of the sector, we support and champion the sector as a whole.
