GAVCA

Our Database

GAVCA has a database of voluntary and community organisations in Gloucestershire, called VC-Connect. A public search of the database is available here. 

We keep this data so that we can provide organisations with information and support that is timely, relevant and helpful. The information we hold about the organisations also enables us to promote and champion the role of voluntary and community sector to public sector agencies and helps to inform strategic planning and policy development in the county.

Making a Subject Access Request

If an individual wishes to know what information is held about them in our database, then that person should make a Subject Access Request to the Information Officer.

The Subject Access Request:
