NCVO has launched a suite of new services for the support and development of voluntary sector leaders.

Leadership Services, targeting chairs, trustees, chief executives and directors, aims to provide networking services and personal development opportunities. Partners in the new service include Cass Centre for Charity Effectiveness, Warwick University Business School, the Institute of Fundraising, and the Institute of Directors.

NCVO’s chief executive Stuart Etherington described the skills that voluntary sector leaders needed as distinct and multidimensional, ranging from different reporting environments and investment strategies to increasingly complex demands from funders and investors. “These services will therefore help to support established and emerging leaders and are open to everyone in the sector,” he said.

The services will include a network for young and emerging leaders; a fully interactive web resource for strategic planners; executive coaching services; and legal support, to name a few.
