Funding events at the Gathering 2025

Posted on 10 January 2025 by Chris Allen in Funding Events Gathering

The next Gathering will take place in-person on 4th and 5th February 2025 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). There are a wealth of funding-themed events for you to get stuck into, plus plenty more on offer.

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. As well as a packed programme of workshops, seminars and activities – including online sessions for the most popular events at the Gathering Extra - you'll find a wide range of exhibitors from the voluntary, public and private sectors at the ever-popular exhibition.

There are over 70 events at this year's Gathering, many of them on the topic of funding and finance: from sessions about energy costs and funding for heritage or community projects, to discussions about the wider fundraising landscape, and accessibility. View the range of funding and finance related sessions at the Gathering here.

Why not come to the SCVO stand to talk funding and fundraising with us, and visit the exhibition to engage with over 70 organisations and see what they can offer you. See our list of exhibitors here.

If you're not local to Edinburgh, or you just want to catch up on things you missed, SCVO's online event the Gathering Extra on 5 March is for you. It will feature a range of best bits from the Gathering, plus special guests and chat.
