About CO3

CO3 Chief Officers 3rd Sector is a membership organisation for Third Sector leaders in Northern Ireland.  

We help Third Sector Leaders be exceptional.

With over 250 members and operating for over 25 years, our members lead a wide range of organisations; from charities, social economy organisations and partnerships, to community, faith-based and voluntary organisations.

We use the term third sector to describe the breadth of our members’ work.  Members work across all policy areas and connect to all government departments.  Our members offer considerable expertise, services and innovation. Our members lead organisations that contribute resources and investment in public services, employ tens of thousands of people and have a considerable asset base to help strengthen the economy. 

We are supported by a small staff team who work closely with members, as well as partner organisations in the private & statutory sector and government departments.
