GAVCA is a local support and development charity that works to support the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) in Gloucestershire. We do this through training, representation, and information. We also work with groups directly to help them develop.
The Voluntary and Community Sector is often known by many different names: the Third Sector, the Not-for-profit Sector, Civil Society and many others. Whatever you call yourself, and whatever your size and structure, whether you are a large charity or social enterprise delivering public services, a faith-based group or a small unconstituted group of volunteers trying to make a difference in your community, we're here to help you! |

During the last four months of 2011 GAVCA conducted a survey of voluntary and community organisations in Gloucestershire, concerning the ways in which changes to levels of funding were affecting the sector. The information was collected to help GAVCA in our work of representing, supporting and informing the voluntary and community sector in Gloucestershire.
The survey closed at the end of November, and the results have now been analysed. The full report can be downloaded, below.
We would like to thank all those voluntary and community organisations which completed the survey and contributed to the collection of this important information about the state of the voluntary and community sector in the county.

The recent GAVCA funders fair gave opportunities for voluntary and community organisations to meet funders face to face. The key message from funders is that there is funding available. Meeting the funders' eligibility criteria and being clear about your project outcomes is vital for successful funding bids.
Voluntary and community organisations were asked for their organisation's most pressing concern at this time. The feedback indicates that organisations are struggling to find support for core costs which in turn enables them to have the organisational capacity to concentrate on developing larger or more complex funding bids.
