Join us in Cardiff for our final event of 2025, where we’ll be shining a spotlight on our Welsh charity retail members at this year’s Wales Network Meeting.

This free networking event is open to all charity members of the Association and offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers, share ideas, and hear from an inspiring range of speakers — including our Chief Executive, Robin Osterley.

Featuring:

The new approach to volunteering - WCVA

Volunteering in Wales is evolving. Co-created with stakeholders across the country and launched at gofod3 by Jane Hutt MS, the New Approach to Volunteering sets out a bold Vision and Delivery Framework to help volunteering flourish.

This session will explore what the new approach means in practice, how the accompanying tools can support your volunteer strategy and management and how you can get involved in the future of volunteering in Wales.

WEEE and policy guidance session – Reuse Network

Delivered by Craig Anderson, Chief Executive, this session will provide the latest updates on WEEE and reuse policy from the experts at Reuse Network. (Full session details coming soon.)
