The Team

For the past 10 years our  focus has been what’s strong not what’s wrong in communities. This approach is also known as strengths-based working or Asset Based Community Development. 

We work in partnership with other statutory agencies, voluntary and community organisations, and local people to help make Gloucester a place where everyone can have a good life. 

 As well as working together to improve the wellbeing of the people who live, study and work in the city, each member of the team supports specific priorities including:
