Election Results: Gloucestershire VCSE Strategic Partnership

We're delighted to announce that the following people have been elected to the Gloucestershire VCSE Strategic Partnership:

  • Nicole Hastie: Cheltenham and Gloucester Sling Library, Gaming Together (Cheltenham), Active Impact and Gloucestershire Parent Carer Forum
  • Lisa Wilson: GL11 Community Hub
  • Sarah Bourne: The Churn Project
  • Maggie Grady: Mindsong
  • Michelle Vaughan: The Spring Centre and Gay Glos
  • Jason Dunsford: Gloucestershire Gateway Trust

Congratulations to all our new members! They will join the following people who will continue to serve on the Partnership for a further 2 years:

  • Tom Beasley: Active Gloucestershire
  • Chris Brown: Forest Voluntary Action Forum
  • Matt Lennard: Gloucestershire VCSE Alliance
  • Vicci Livingstone-Thompson: Inclusion Gloucestershire

In addition, Lucy Moriarty from Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust is currently a co-opted member.

We're particularly thrilled that our newly elected members strengthen the representation of small and grassroots organisations in the Partnership. This will help us reflect the views and experiences of communities and smaller organisations in our activity and our conversations with the public sector.

The refreshed Strategic Partnership will begin meeting in September and already has some significant topics to focus on, including:

  • The future shape of VCSE infrastructure support
  • The Gloucestershire pound – how can we foster a circular economy in which more public money is spent locally?
  • Acting as a voice for the VCSE sector in relation to local government reform and NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board reorganisation
