Infrastructure Partnership

South Gloucestershire’s Infrastructure Partnership gathers local and specialist infrastructure organisations together, in partnership, to provide joined-up, high quality support services for the voluntary sector and innovative community-led responses to meet the needs of the communities across South Gloucestershire.

Key areas of work for the Infrastructure Partnership are;

  • identifying the needs of the local communities and facilitating improvements in service provision,
  • supporting local voluntary sector groups to function more effectively,
  • facilitating effective communication, networking and collaboration amongst the voluntary sector,
  • enabling the diverse views of the local voluntary sector to be represented and advocated,
  • empowering voluntary sector groups and organisations to play integral part in local planning and policy development.
