Engage Hosts: UK Pay & Equalities Survey Webinar from ACEVO

Engage Hosts: ACEVO'S UK Pay & Equalities Survey Webinar

Free webinar | 18 February 2026 | 12:00–13:00

Charity CEOs are often under intense scrutiny, with limited support. It’s time for an open and honest conversation about leadership, pay and equity across the charity sector.

Hosted by Engage and presented by Roberta Fusco, this webinar draws on insights from ACEVO’s latest annual report, informed by contributions from organisations across the UK — including data provided by CO3 members, helping to reflect the Northern Ireland context.

The session will explore:

- the role of chairs and trustees and what needs to change for genuine accountability and equity in leadership

- the latest findings of our annual Pay and Equalities Survey

- why so many charity leaders still go without annual appraisals or fair processes for discussing pay

- the persistent gender pay gap and why women are still more likely to lead smaller, lower-paid organisations

- the systemic barriers to leadership for women and people from underrepresented backgrounds.

Join us to explore these critical issues and consider practical steps your organisation can take to support fairer, more equitable leadership.
