As it's the beginning of a fresh new year, we thought we'd share a brief reminder about what we do and some of the free resources, support, and information that we offer to the sector...
We're the independent voice that informs, strengthens and develops the VCSE sector in Gloucestershire. We promote partnership working at every level and ensure that the views of the sector are represented in a range of ways, including via our work with the Gloucestershire VCSE Strategic Partnership, ILP Representatives and agencies involved in the county's Community Mental Health Transformation programme.
In addition to this, we also provide a range of free and fully funded information and support for the sector including:
- Free training & events - we run a range of sector specific training courses & events throughout the year. More information about our upcoming programme is available in our Book Now page
- Free Online Training Videos - our Charities Act (2022) Webinar and Sector Shorts (Social Media for Beginners) series are available to stream on our online training page
- Free Sector Spotlight Debates - we will be announcing a date for our next debate shortly. You can stream our 'Better Together or Surviving Apart?' debate on our Sector Spotlight page
- Free advertising of volunteer & trustee roles - we host Go Volunteer Glos, a free service that provides personalised support and helps groups/organisations in Gloucestershire to recruit and support volunteers.
- Free access to information - we send out a range of free newsletters and mailings with valuable information for and about the sector. A list of the newsletters that we publish is now available in our newsletters page
