Please be patient with our staff when you call in this time of national crisis.

To keep our staff, volunteers and service user safe, we need to ask for your help.
Please treat our staff and volunteers with kindness and respect in any communication you have with them. These are unprecedented circumstances and they are being asked to come to work every day to continue to provide a service, albeit by phone while so many others are being asked to stay at home. We all need them to keep coming to work to support YOU – a small thank you goes a really long way.

Please keep safe.

Working in large social housing estates in Gloucestershire to develop the social and economic wellbeing of both individuals and the community. We are seen as an anchor organisation by those who want to create a better future for themselves and their community.

Our Say 'No' to Period Poverty...

We All Need A Little Extra Support...

Many things can affect our health and wellbeing, such as where we live, how we spend our time, our financial situation and our relationships with family and friends.

The Wellbeing Project established in Matson, Robinswood and White City is part of a new partnership which will focus on laying the foundation for community inclusion and wellbeing for local residents by working in a collaborative way.

Sustainable Community Development

The concept of a “sustainable community” does not describe just one type of neighborhood, town, city or region. Activities that the environment can sustain and that residents want and can afford may be quite different from community to community.

Rather than being a fixed thing, a sustainable community is continually adjusting to meet the social and economic needs of its residents while preserving the environment’s ability to support it.

Safe & Healthy Community

The needs of everyone in the community are met and people feel safe, healthy and ultimately happy

Local Economic Community

Meet local needs locally wherever possible.

Environment

Our environment is appreciated, protected and enhanced and damage to the environment is minimised.

Skills and Knowledge

Maximise everyone's access to the skills and knowledge needed to play a full part in society.

Diversity

Value and protect diversity and local distinctiveness and strengthen local community and cultural identity.

Community decision-making

Empower all sections of the community to participate in decision-making and consider the social and community aspects of decisions.
