GAVCA

GAVCA are pleased to announce the start of a new project called 'Down to Business', headed up by Shelley Bartlett. The project aims to support the sustainability of the voluntary and community sector through building greater understanding and developing partnerships between it and the private sector. It is anticipated that these partnerships could lead to the transfer of needed skills, experience and knowledge, as well greater learning and development opportunities, increased volunteering support and of course income diversification.

The project is still in the early stages of its development and creation, but Shelley has already started meeting members of the VCS and the business community, discussing their differing needs and methods for engaging both. If you are interested in talking with Shelley about how the Down to Business project could support you then please feel free to contact her on ShelleyB@gavca.org.uk or 07968 827 308 or come along to one of the VCS Forums where she will be speaking with groups.
