Earlier this month, we said goodbye to several of our longstanding trustees. Emma Griffiths, Jenny Hopkins, Ali McGuckin, and Cordell Ray MBE have now retired from our Board, having completed their second three-year term of office.

Our trustees and staff team would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Emma, Jenny, Ali and Cordell and thank them sincerely for all they have done for our organisation during their many years of service. Their hard work, knowledge, dedication and guidance has been pivotal in enabling Gloucestershire VCSE Alliance becoming the organisation that it is today.

As part of this planned transition, we have been busy onboarding new trustees for several months now, and are delighted to welcome Kit Boulting-Hodge, Karen Lawton and our new Chair of Trustees, Julie Reader-Sullivan, to our Board.

Whilst we are sad to say farewell to our brilliant former trustees, we are excited by the skills and experiences our new trustees bring to our organisation and look forward to an exciting future led by Julie and the rest of the Board. You can find out more about our trustees on our trustees page.
