Bubb discloses expenses to Acevo members summit

Acevo chief executive Stephen Bubb today told a members' summit that he claimed £9,751.04 in expenses last year. His announcement means that all the major umbrella body CEOs have now disclosed their expense claims. Bubb did so on his first day back at work since Charity Finance first requested disclosure. In his speech to the chief executives' summit, he referred to “excitement” in the sector press on expenses and an interesting contest by umbrella body CEOs to publish their expenses: “a kind of ‘you show me yours and I’ll show you mine’ campaign”.

The battle has not been won. Women have been allowed into the game but they are still, very much, playing by men's rules. Just talk to women who have the temerity to take time out from their careers to have children about the effect it has on their pay and career prospects, if you need evidence for that.
