gofod3 2026: Wales' Biggest Voluntary Sector Event Returns This June

The word gofod means space in Welsh, and gofod3 is exactly that – a space for the voluntary sector in Wales to come together, learn from one another and look ahead to the future.

Events such as gofod3 provide a unique opportunity to gain fresh perspectives, build new partnerships and return with ideas that can benefit local communities across Gwent.

GAVO is encouraging voluntary organisations, community groups, trustees, volunteers and sector professionals across Gwent to book their FREE place at gofod3 2026, taking place on Wednesday 17 June at Cardiff City Stadium.

Organised annually by WCVA in collaboration with the voluntary sector, gofod3 is the largest event of its kind in Wales, bringing together hundreds of people who are passionate about strengthening communities and creating positive change.

Whether you're a volunteer, trustee, staff member, or wear several hats within your organisation, gofod3 offers a valuable opportunity to connect with others from across Wales, share ideas, discover new opportunities and gain practical knowledge to support your work.

This year's programme features an inspiring range of speakers, panel discussions, masterclasses and interactive workshops covering some of the key issues facing the voluntary sector today. Attendees will also have the chance to network with colleagues from the voluntary, public and private sectors throughout the day.

New for 2026 is The Exchange, providing even more opportunities to collaborate, share experiences and build meaningful connections. Visitors can also explore the busy Marketplace, showcasing a wide range of organisations, services and support available to the sector.

We hope to see many organisations and volunteers from across Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire and Newport attending this year's event.
