Our fifth (but not final) fully funded course in our series of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) events for VCSE groups & organisations in Gloucestershire opens for bookings today. 

Join Lucy Smith to understand how you can support neurodiverse staff, service users and clients. Lucy will also highlight the benefits of demonstrating an inclusive and supportive community driven approach.

Moog Aircraft Control Components Ltd (Moog) hosted an Employee Volunteering ‘showcase’ event in partnership with Gloucestershire VCS Alliance at Moog’s new UK HQ in Tewkesbury on 30 July. 

Ten organisations from VCSE groups & organisations in Tewkesbury were invited to attend a ‘breakfast’ event showcasing their work in the community, and the range of volunteering opportunities they have to offer.

This month, Ben Ward and Jo Hammond shared information about how the Cotswold Integrated Locality Partnership has been tackling the key issues of social isolation and frailty amongst older people, and supporting children & young people facing additional challenges. 

This work was given a significant boost through the use of the Strengthening Local Communities fund, which totalled nearly £120,000.

We're pleased to announce the launch of our fourth event, which is part of our new series of fully funded Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) events, workshops and training courses for VCSE groups & organisations in Gloucestershire.

'Transgender Conversations with Beyond-the-Binary' will open the conversation around gender identity and enhance understanding of the positive impacts and benefits we can make in our spaces when we create an authentic and inclusive environment for the trans community.

Words 'Your opinion matters'

We've been producing a monthly Funding Bulletin, thanks to funding from Gloucestershire County Council, for over 10 years.

Last year, we made some substantial changes to the structure of our Funding Bulletin and have since added additional functionalities to our website.
