The Gathering 2026
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.
Hosted at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) on 10th and 11th February 2026, delegates enjoyed a packed programme of workshops, seminars and activities, as well as our popular exhibition.

In conversation with SCVO
At the Gathering 2026, Maddie Stark and Manish Joshi teamed up as hosts of "SCVO in conversation", to meet leaders, thinkers and change-makers from the voluntary sector and beyond.
"SCVO in conversation" films delve into the issues that shape our essential voluntary sector. We talk funding, leadership and AI. We touch on topics including sector resilience, community, impact and the importance of collaboration. And, we learn what makes our guests tick in their roles and what they'd love to see change for the better.
