What a speaker lineup! We are so excited for #ACEVOFest already! https://lnkd.in/eSWMVsZe

We have a new survey out at Association of Chairs on charity boards experience of EDI at board level - what the priorities are, what success has been had, and what people tips and ideas people have. The results will be available to everybody. Please take the survey using this link: https://lnkd.in/exjsCsvH

The session fosters accountability by encouraging leaders to create action plans with ownership and partner with a peer for support. The peer-to-peer approach is designed to create continuous journey beyond the workshop, where plans are more likely to be implemented – leading to a lasting impact. In focussing on tangible actions and by holding each other accountable, leaders ensure that DEI becomes a core value embedded within the organisation, creating a sustainable shift that stakeholders and service users will experience over time.

In the opening session of #ACEVOFest 2025 you will hear from a leader who has rooted purpose into the very essence of their work and organisation. Yvonne Field OBE is a social justice advocate and social entrepreneur focusing on community wealth-building and systems change work. In 2014, she founded The Ubele Initiative Initiative, which empowers Black and racially minoritised communities to act as catalysts for social and economic change. Ubele played a pivotal role during the COVID-19 pandemic through its ground-breaking research, capability-building support and emergency grant-making programmes.

#ClimateWeek, day 4: the intersection of climate and social justice In this special episode of our #podcast, Jools Townsend, CEO of the Community Rail Network, talks to Jabeer Butt, CEO of the Race Equality Foundation and Kamran Mallick, CEO of Disability Rights UK about the intersection of climate and social justice. "I think the pandemic, the Black Lives movement and the work of organisations such as Just Stop Oilmhas meant that the agenda on climate change has been put on everybody’s table, and in many ways, the question for an organisation like ours is, why weren’t you talking about it before, rather than why are you talking about it now."
