Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) is inviting representatives from the VCSE sector in the county to a Health & Wellbeing collaboration event in February 2024.

This event will help GCC to draw together discussions and continue the journey that they embarked upon in their last Stakeholder get together earlier this year.

NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board presently contracts with 5 providers for the provision of Community Wellbeing Services. The current contracts end on 30 September 2024. 

They are holding two identical market engagement events to explore more effective ways of commissioning the service, how they can utilise the available budget and look at potential models for commissioning/delivering community based support going forward.

Help us to shape a new training and development programme for the VCSE sector in the county around “Conversations for Change”.

We recognise that opening up conversations with individuals about health improvements they can make can be challenging. We are developing a series of training and coaching support sessions for you and your staff team to be able to have these conversations more effectively.
