At Charity Leadership Scotland, we bring together the people leading change across Scotland’s voluntary sector.
Formerly known as ACOSVO, we’ve spent 25 years supporting, connecting, and celebrating those who dedicate their work to strengthening communities. Today, our growing network of around 700 leaders represents every corner of the sector — from small, community-based organisations to national charities.
Here, leaders find space to connect, reflect, and grow. Through leadership development opportunities, peer networks, events, and tailored support, we help you share experiences, find new ideas, and build lasting relationships with others who understand the challenges and rewards of leadership.
We believe great leadership thrives in community. Together, we create space for honest conversations, shared learning, and collective strength — building confidence, resilience, and inspiration for the road ahead.
Join us at Charity Leadership Scotland — a place to belong, to learn, and to lead with purpose.
Mission
We will bring leaders together and develop deep relationships, providing support and challenge to help create change.
Vision
That Charity leadership in Scotland is influential, resilient, and trusted.
At Charity Leadership Scotland, we believe in “walking the talk.”
Our values are more than words for a website, a strategy, or an office wall. They’re principles to guide us and guardrails to protect us. We believe in embodying them to shift the balance from those things that pull us down, towards liberating even more potential.
We know that by bringing them to life we give space to learn and work together, and by supporting each other, we can move forward to meet future challenges positively and succeed. Together towards change.
We have
of experience from different localities to sectors.
