As well as the challenges the sector is set to face this year, there are also some reasons to celebrate. The London Olympics, the Queen’s Jubilee and, ACEVO’s Silver Jubilee. The theme of our Jubilee is celebrating 25 years of CEO leadership – both our beneficiaries and our communities up and down the country. Starting next week we have a whole host of events taking place across the country. Be sure to check www.acevo.org.uk/silverjubilee throughout the year to find out how to get involved.

ACEVO has launched a new guide offering practical advice on how equality and diversity can be mainstreamed in third sector organisations. It has been designed to help third sector organisations tailor action on diversity to their particular organisation.

The guide is arranged in sections spanning the case for equality and diversity; the legislation; the role of leadership; integrating equality with policy and procurement; and what to monitor.
