This weeks round up of job and trustee vacancies within the VCSE sector in Gloucestershire.
Week beginning 4 September 2024.
Gloucestershire County Council has opened the funding window for the 2024 Thriving Communities Grants programme.
This grant programme aims to invest in Gloucestershire’s communities to help local organisations with projects that help people to stay well, and support them to live independently for as long as possible.
We’re a registered charity which means that our board of trustees collectively has overall accountability for our work and delivery. Trustees are volunteers and serve a three-year term.
Sadly, we are due to lose some of our trustees whose terms are due to come to an end later this year. We're therefore looking for new trustees to join our Board. This is a unique opportunity to lead, inspire and make a difference within local communities in Gloucestershire.
We've been working behind the scenes to bring you our fully funded Social Media Academy for 2024 and are delighted to announce its official launch today!
Join us for a day of interactive training at our second Social Media Academy for VCSE groups & organisations in the county. You’ll leave with valuable insights, practical tips and bags of inspiration to enhance your social content, campaigns and strategies.
We're pleased to announce the launch of our fourth event, which is part of our new series of fully funded Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) events, workshops and training courses for VCSE groups & organisations in Gloucestershire.
'Transgender Conversations with Beyond-the-Binary' will open the conversation around gender identity and enhance understanding of the positive impacts and benefits we can make in our spaces when we create an authentic and inclusive environment for the trans community.
Our fifth (but not final) fully funded course in our series of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) events for VCSE groups & organisations in Gloucestershire opens for bookings today.
Join Lucy Smith to understand how you can support neurodiverse staff, service users and clients. Lucy will also highlight the benefits of demonstrating an inclusive and supportive community driven approach.

We've been producing a monthly Funding Bulletin, thanks to funding from Gloucestershire County Council, for over 10 years.
Last year, we made some substantial changes to the structure of our Funding Bulletin and have since added additional functionalities to our website.
This month, Ben Ward and Jo Hammond shared information about how the Cotswold Integrated Locality Partnership has been tackling the key issues of social isolation and frailty amongst older people, and supporting children & young people facing additional challenges.
This work was given a significant boost through the use of the Strengthening Local Communities fund, which totalled nearly £120,000.
We're delighted to announce that Julia Glaudot from Mindsong has been appointed as the new VCS Representative on the Tewkesbury Integrated Locality Partnership (ILP).
