Who we are
GL Communities works in Gloucestershire’s urban areas to recognise and support the gifts, skills and talents of our residents and communities. We make space for people to grow, to be more than they are now. We support local community development, advice, education and training activities to increase residents’ confidence, skills levels and reliance - particularly for people who live with ill health, disability, caring responsibilities or unemployment.
Our strengths lie in :
- Over 30 years of experience in working in deprived urban areas of Gloucestershire
- A long track record of successful work in tackling poverty and inequality
- Being a learning organisation with strength in innovation
- Valuing the community and building on its strengths
- Working with some of the most vulnerable people
- Working to enhance the lives of our many volunteers
- Bringing people, communities and other organisations together to build thriving communities
