I’m Tracy Clark, CEO of Young Gloucestershire and Infobuzz, and the VCS Representative (Rep) for Tewkesbury Borough Integrated Locality Partnership (ILP). ILPs are a way of joining up VCSE and public sector services to improve local people’s health & wellbeing.

Tewkesbury ILP is a vibrant meeting where we grapple with the challenges our community faces and seek opportunities to positively impact the community. Whether that’s understanding the facts and figures, influencing decision making, distribution of funding or seeking ways to hear the voice of our community. In addition, as a Rep we seek to bring the VCSE sector in Tewkesbury Borough together (this is a work in progress) to ensure that we can represent the wider voice of the VCSE sector at the ILP.

I’m looking for someone from a VCSE sector group or organisation who would like to share this role with me and make a real difference in Tewkesbury. We would work and learn together to ensure the VCSE sector is heard. The main tasks are:

  • Gathering views from and providing feedback to the local VCSE sector
  • Attending the ILP meetings and being a strong voice for the sector
  • Encouraging VCSE sector groups & organisations to take part in ILP work programmes and initiatives

The time commitment is approx. 4 -6 hours per month and my organisation gets paid a contribution for my time.

The deadline for applications is 29 August 2023. A copy of the role description is here. Please apply using our webform or find out more about the important role of ILP Representatives in Gloucestershire here
