(Aberdeen’s third sector interface “TSI”)
ACVO (Aberdeen Council of Voluntary Organisations) is the third sector interface for Aberdeen city that provides support, learning and development opportunities, governance advice, representation and capacity building for individuals and organisations through a diverse range of work. Whether you want to know more about the many volunteering opportunities in the city, setting up and running a third sector organisation, have interests in CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), or using social enterprise as a model to deliver social good, ACVO is your local starting point. ACVO also distributes funding to third sector organisations on behalf of the Scottish Government and local businesses.
ACVO has been in existence for nearly 25 years, with the staff team boasting many more years of experience working in Aberdeen, making the TSI the central hub of knowledge and support relating to the local third sector. To compliment our diverse and experienced board of trustees, ACVO is looking for energetic, passionate, and enthusiastic people to join our board to;
• Be part of supporting, involving and representing the work of the third sector in Aberdeen.
• Champion the important work the sector does.
• Contribute to the strategic direction of ACVO.
If you believe in the value of Aberdeen’s third sector and would like to be part of ACVO’s vision for the sector, we have a chair for you at our boardroom table. We are particularly looking for people with financial, legal, HR and marketing skills, while alternatively experience in business, the third sector, or local government would be valuable.
We are looking for a number of new Board members and welcome applications from a wide range of skills. Board members are expected to attend 6 meetings a year (currently using teams and in person)
Our Board meetings are held alternately at lunchtimes and evenings in Aberdeen.
Being part of team ACVO gives you a tremendous insight to the powerful, vital, and exciting work of the third sector in our city, and nationally, while having the opportunity to contribute to the wellbeing of our citizens at a time where the sector and society need us the most.
