**Wales Council for Voluntary Action ([WCVA](http://www.wcva.org.uk)) has announced
the launch of [gofod3](http://www.gofod3.cymru), a new free event created in response
to the events of 2016 and showcasing the work of charities and voluntary groups 
across the country.**

Gofod3 will take place on 7^(th) March next year in Cardiff City Stadium and aims
to bring third sector organisations together with those from the public and private
sectors to learn from and motivate each other. It will feature speakers, debates,
masterclasses and exhibition space, covering fundraising, digital innovation, charity
law, governance, and safeguarding, and the impact of Brexit.

[Registration](http://www.gofod3.cymru/register/) is now open and the full programme
will be announced in early 2017. There are spaces available for [exhibitors](http://www.gofod3.cymru/book-space/),
as well as opportunities to hold bespoke events during the day, and participating
organisations to date include the [Big Lottery Fund](https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/),
[Community Housing Cymru](http://chcymru.org.uk/), Wales Cooperative Centre, the
Public Services Ombudsman for Wales, the Welsh Language Commissioner, as well as
accountants and law firms.

Ruth Marks, WCVA chief executive, said:

> “As a sector, 2016 has changed forever the way that we do business in Wales. 3,000
> voluntary organisations and almost a million volunteers do vital work across the
> country and we have a responsibility to provide a forum for them to reflect and
> respond to this ever-changing social and political landscape.
> “There is also clear appetite among the not-for-profit sector in Wales for a space
> where we can learn from each other, to motivate and to inspire. gofod3 offers 
> the opportunity for us, as a sector, to come together and to benefit from the 
> skills and experience of businesses and public bodies.”
