Clare Daley, Voscur’s Community Outreach Coordinator, will run a series of drop-in sessions around Bristol for new and local community groups – three will be held in East and Central Bristol, three in South Bristol, and four in North Bristol.

The sessions, which take place from September to November, help local groups with small budgets or small teams discover available support and resources.

This is also an opportunity for your group to tell Voscur what you need, whether it’s a training course, advice on trustees, or more of a local presence. With no need to book a time slot, there’s no pressure to commit in advance - you can drop in at any time during the sessions to talk to Clare in person.
