The VCSE Big Meet Event 2026!

Join us for the VCSE Big Meet 2026 – Your essential networking event for voluntary sector leaders

Thursday 23rd April 2026 | Venue: The Great Victoria Hotel, Bradford.

Are you ready to strengthen your organisation's governance and build lasting connections with peers who truly understand your challenges?

This year's theme – 'Good Governance and Board Relationships' – tackles the issues that matter most to trustees, chairs, and voluntary sector leaders. You'll gain practical insights from three inspiring speakers who've been where you are and know what works.

What you'll take away:

• Proven strategies to improve board effectiveness and trustee relationships
• Fresh perspectives on governance challenges facing charities today
• Valuable connections with leaders from across the voluntary sector
• Practical tools you can implement immediately in your organisation

Plus, enjoy a delicious dinner (all dietary requirements catered for – just let us know when you book).

Last year's event brought together passionate sector leaders who left energised, better connected, and equipped with actionable ideas. This year promises to be even better.

Spaces are limited – secure your place today.

Whether you're a trustee, chair, CEO, or volunteer leader, this is your opportunity to invest in your organisation's future while enjoying great food and even better company.
