Do you work in or volunteer for a VCSE organisation in Gloucestershire?  

The last 2.5 years have put unprecedented strain on VCSE organisations and its leaders. Unlike those working in other sectors, often VCSE leaders have had to shoulder the responsibility and strain without support for our mental or physical wellbeing.

With winter on the horizon and with no sign of the pressure letting up, the VCS Alliance is working with partners to develop a Wellbeing Retreat for VCSE Leaders. This will consist of a residential over at the wonderful Hawkwood college with a number of activities planned, specifically aimed at supporting our wellbeing and enabling us to reflect, decompress and learn.

Broadly, the event will be broken down into two sections, day one being aimed specifically at supporting our wellbeing, and day two developed to support us to look forward and develop VCSE priorities for collaborative working - Strategic Planning Day

The retreat will take place from the 6-7th of OCTOBER. We have 28 rooms that are available for those wanting to stay over, and up to 100-day delegate spaces. Delegates can attend for one day, or choose to book for both days with overnight accommodation.

Day one - All activities will be optional, please feel free to come along and simply enjoy the space, talk to other VCSE leaders and relax. 6th October is aimed at supporting your wellbeing so feel free to use in a way that will be of use to you, whether that is taking part in everything on offer, or simply enjoying the food, setting and conversation!

Day Two - A safe space to come together and share ideas about how the Gloucestershire VCSE focuses its priorities for next year and beyond.
