The Charity Commission has registered the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary
Organisations (acevo) as a charity with the objective of working to promote the 
third sector for the benefit of the public.
Acevo was established in 1987, acevo
provides advice and training to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and works 
with a range of third sector organisations.

The Charity Commission recognised the promotion of the voluntary sector as a charitable
purpose in its own right in 2004. Professional bodies may be charitable if they 
are established for a charitable purpose for the public benefit, as opposed to promoting
private interests.

 

 

Andrew Hind, Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, said: “Promoting the voluntary
sector for the benefit of the public is a charitable purpose which is increasingly
relevant to support today’s community-based organisations. Acevo carries out valuable
work in support of the third sector and we welcome its transition into a registered
charity.”
