You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''ACEVO''' (Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations) is a membership body for the [[leaders]] of [[Voluntary sector|third sector]] organisations in [[England]] and [[Wales]]. ACEVO has sister organisations in Scotland (ACOSVO)<ref name=acosvo>((cite web |url=https://acosvo.org.uk/about-acosvo |title=About ACOSVO |website=www.acosvo.org.uk |access-date=27 December 2023 ))</ref> and Northern Ireland (CO3 Chief Officers 3rd Sector).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.co3.bz |title=CO3 &#124; |website=Co3.bz |date= |accessdate=2017-01-10))</ref>

==Aims==
ACEVO's vision is to see civil society leaders making the biggest possible difference. Its stated aims are to connect, develop and represent civil society leaders. In turn, these aims are met by offering [[professional development]] and peer learning opportunities; providing informal networking events and tailored advice to all members; and [[lobbying]] the [[UK government]] on behalf of its members.  These three aims are all intended to make the sector more effective and impactful. ACEVO is a registered charity [number 1114591].

==History==
ACEVO was started in 1987 by three charity chief executives who felt isolated in their positions, and wanted to establish a networking group of third sector leaders. Its original name was ACENVO – Association of Chief Executives of National Voluntary Organisations – but its membership now encompasses the leaders of charities and not-for-profits from small, community-based groups, ambitious medium-sized organisations, and well known national and international not-for-profits. Current chief executive Vicky Browning took over in 2017 following previous CEOs Sir Stephen Bubb (2000–2016) and Dororthy Dalton (1987–2000). ACEVO celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2017.

==Membership==
ACEVO's membership is primarily drawn from England and Wales, (third sector leaders in Scotland or Northern Ireland can join ACOSVO or CO3 respectively). Full members are CEOs (or equivalent) at charities and social enterprises. Associate membership is offered to anyone with an interest in sector leadership, including chairs and trustees (but excluding for-profit organisations), and aspiring CEOs join as senior leader members. Private organisations wishing to support and work with the sector may become part of the network as commercial partners. It has over 1,100 members and a staff of 11 FTE. ACOSVO has over 750 members.<ref name=acosvo />

Membership fees are graduated by the [[revenue|turnover]] of the organisation the CEO represents.

Members join primarily for peer support and professional development through networking, training and events. Members also benefit from information services, and from legal and emotional support in the event that their job is put at risk. ACEVO also represents the voice and views of civil society leaders to influencers including the government and the media.

==Influencing==
ACEVO has been influential within the UK in campaigning on behalf of third sector leaders, most notably on issues of governance, leadership and funding. ACEVO is a strategic partner of the [[Cabinet Office]]'s Office for Civil Society, and has been involved in the government's numerous task forces and working groups.

Together with [[New Philanthropy Capital]], ACEVO developed and pioneered the case for [[Full cost recovery|Full Cost Recovery]], which states that third sector organisations should cost their work robustly, including a relevant share of overheads and "core costs", and that the funding they receive from government should be sustainable.<ref>((cite web|website=ACEVO|url=http://fullcostrecovery.org.uk/main/index.php?content=home |title=Full Cost Recovery |accessdate=2023-12-20 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080624011518/http://www.fullcostrecovery.org.uk/main/index.php?content=home |archivedate=2008-06-24 ))</ref> The principle of full cost recovery, "ensuring [that] publicly-funded services are not subsidised by charitable donations or volunteers", was accepted by [[HM Treasury]] in 2002 and embraced by the [[Gershon Review|Gershon Report]] of 2004.<ref>H M Treasury, [https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20100402112223mp_/http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/d/efficiency_review120704.pdf Gershon Review], archived by [[The National Archives (United Kingdom)|The National Archives]] on 2 April 2010, section 3.30, accessed 20 December 2023</ref> Full cost recovery is endorsed by the UK's [[National Lottery (United Kingdom)|National Lottery]] for calculating payments for [[National Lottery Community Fund|Community Fund]] projects, and by the [[Arts Council England]]: both of these organisations signpost funding applicants to make use of ACEVO guidance.<ref>The National Lottery Community Fund (2019), [https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/media/documents/full-cost-recovery/Applying-for-your-project-overheads.pdf Applying for your project overheads: Guidance for The National Lottery Community Fund applicants], accessed 19 January 2024</ref><ref>Arts Council England, [https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/sites/default/files/2023-09/Repeat%20projects%2C%20ongoing%20overheads%20and%20salaries%20and%20Project%20Grants%20-%20Information%20sheet.pdf Arts Council National Lottery Project Grants: Repeat projects, ongoing overheads and salaries], published September 2023, accessed 19 January 2024</ref>

==Criticism==
ACEVO has been criticised by other voluntary sector organisations for taking a political stance in favour of charities assisting with the [[privatisation]] of public services such as healthcare and prisons. The [[National Council for Voluntary Organisations]] criticised a 2005 ACEVO report warning it could "warp public perception of the role of the sector".<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/news/archive/617714/NCVO-attacks-Acevos-service-delivery-plans/ |title=NCVO attacks Acevo's service delivery plans &#124; Third Sector |website=www.thirdsector.co.uk |access-date=26 January 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130421120510/http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/news/archive/617714/NCVO-attacks-Acevos-service-delivery-plans/ |archive-date=21 April 2013 |url-status=dead))</ref>
