The Gloucester Partnership would like to take this opportunity of thanking Val O’Connor, Paul Mathurin and Ian Ellis who are stepping down as Executive members of the Partnership at the end of their term representing the voluntary and community sector. Their hard work, commitment and experience has been a major contribution to the way that the Partnership has developed, and we wish them every success in their future endeavours.

A special note of appreciation goes to Val O’Connor who has been Vice Chair for the past year, leading the Gloucester Partnership through a radical review, the development of a new Sustainable Community Strategy, and a planned succession to new structures and new leadership.
