Invitation to BasicNeeds Community Animation Programme Community Gatherings - Gloucester, Staverton, Cheltenham, Cam, Morton and Newent

Invitation to BasicNeeds Community Animation Programme

Community Gatherings

BasicNeeds is an international charity working in Gloucestershire to improve the lives of people with disabilities and people with mental health problems.

In order to get a true picture of life in Gloucestershire we are holding a number of Community Gatherings across the county, where people will have the chance to describe their lives and aspects they would like to change. These sessions will be interactive and fun.

You are invited to attend one of these gatherings and bring along your friends and relatives to join us, we are particularly interested to hear from people with lived experience of disability and mental illness.

We will include your views in a final report which will inform the direction our programme takes.  The report will be made available to all those involved in the gatherings.

Refreshments and transport costs will be provided.  Children and care givers are very welcome.  You can just turn up or let us know you are coming by contacting Rosie Branney on 01242 539930 or on rosie.branney@basicneeds.org.

BasicNeeds has been commissioned by Barnwood Trust to run the Community Animation Programme (CAP), a key part of the Trust’s new ten year plan ‘Unlocking Opportunities’.
