Blogs

Given how quickly the funding landscape is changing, for our second guest blog we have invited local grantmaking boffin Tom Steinberg to look into the future to see what challenges and opportunities might be just round the corner for voluntary organisations and funders in Gloucestershire.

In our first guest blog, Matt Lennard contributes his perspective as CEO of Gloucestershire VCSE Alliance in his piece on 'Making funding work better for Gloucestershire’s VCSE sector'.

With the benefit of a career immersed in the funding landscape, Sally shares her perspective on the need for a new approach that addresses the power asymmetries in the funder-applicant relationship.

In her first blog, Claire shares her thoughts on some of the challenges she encountered sustaining a small charity in Gloucestershire; applying for funding to secure the organisation's finances took up an immense amount of her team's time, detracting from the remarkable work the team were doing on the ground.
