Are you unsure where to go to find mental health support for a child or young person? This article contains links to the range of mental health support available for children & young people in Gloucestershire.

Could political change affect the landscape in which the VCSE sector operates? 

With an election due in the next nine months, the VCSE Strategic Partnership would like to invite you to explore what this may mean for the sector and the opportunities it may present. The VCSE Strategic Partnership would also like to receive feedback about their draft plan and there will be an opportunity to share your views about the year ahead during these events.

We're delighted to announce that 18 local VCSE sector groups & organisations in Gloucestershire have been awarded grants totalling £300k for projects which support mental health in the county.

These grants we're provided by Gloucestershire VCS Alliance and Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC) as part of the Community Mental Health Transformation (CMHT) programme in the county.
