Nearly £20,000 to support youth led ideas in the Cotswolds is being launched this autumn thanks to an initiative of the Cotswold Youth Network, Cotswold District Council & the Cotswold Integrated Partnership.

Charities need to recruit and retain 10,000 more ethnically diverse trustees to bridge the 6% under-representation gap on charity trustee boards in England and Wales. Only 8% of trustees are ethnically diverse compared to the England and Wales population of 14%. Less than 3% are women of colour. 

Research completed at our recent Strategic Planning Day, identified that of those attending, the majority were female. One of the top issues delegates identified as important to them, was access to leadership training. 

Following the successful VCSE  Planning Day on the 7th October, The Healthy Communities Together  (Healthy Communities Together Gloucestershire (hctgloucestershire.co.uk) Stewardship Group are hosting a VCSE event to continue the conversation about how we create the conditions for greater trust between VCSE, Health and Local Government to deliver better outcomes and fairer health for people in Gloucestershire.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who attended our VCSE Wellbeing Retreat and Strategic Planning Day last week. 

We had over 130 people visit the events at Hawkwood and have been blown away by the feedback we have received so far!

The fund is to create, expand and improve local youth facilities and their services, to drive positive outcomes for young people, including improved mental and physical wellbeing, and skills for life and work.
