The Gathering 2023
Organised by SCVO, the Gathering is the largest free voluntary sector event in the UK. It's an opportunity for all the amazing people working in and with the voluntary sector to network, showcase what they do and learn from each other.
This year's Gathering took place at the EICC on 7 and 8 November 2023 and online (the Gathering Extra) on 29 November.
Across both events, over 3,500 colleagues and friends from the voluntary sector and beyond came together to enjoy a packed programme of workshops, seminars, activities and networking opportunities.
If you want to catch up on some of the sessions from the Gathering, the Gathering Extra is available to view online until end of day 28 December.
