Find out about GRCC Networks and Groups
Networking with others in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector continues to be vital to help learning and in developing links with like-minded organisations and individuals to achieve your goals.
GRCC co-ordinates a variety of networks specifically for the sector and these include general and specialist network sessions. We also link with partner organisations in the county who run networks including Gloucestershire VCS Alliance, Tewkesbury Borough Council and FVAF, so we have our finger on the pulse of what is happening in Gloucestershire.
