Gloucestershire County Council has partnered with whatimpact, the National Social Value Marketplace®, to connect local VCSEs with suppliers delivering mandatory social value in the county.
This partnership ensures that supplier resources – including funding, volunteering, and pro bono support – are directed to organisations making a positive local impact. VCSEs in Gloucestershire now have the valuable opportunity to set up a free profile on whatimpact, attend upcoming webinars and training sessions, and begin building partnerships with corporate and public sector suppliers.
Setting up a profile gives your organisation visibility, but the real value comes when you use the platform to connect with suppliers, tell your story, and showcase the difference you make. Being proactive will help ensure your organisation is chosen for new partnerships.
Gloucestershire VCSE Alliance is delighted to host this training session on 'Maximising Social Value' :
