Strategic Partnerships

That’s An Idea!

An innovative partnership between 15 organisations in Gloucestershire and funded by The Summerfield Trust (add their logo) working together to embed art and culture as a defining feature of Gloucestershire’s identity, and for this identity to be distinct, recognised, resourced, and rooted in community life.

Gloucestershire Creative Health Consortium

(Art Shape, Artlift, Mindsong, The Music Works, Cinderford Artspace and Play Glos)

Gloucester Culture Trust with Together Gloucester Partners

(Active Glos, The Music Works, Glos Community Building Collective, Glos Gateway Trust and Young Glos) 

Working closely with and supported by Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board. 

Together, we envision a future where people in Gloucestershire can experience the transformative power of arts, culture and creativity without barriers. 

Together, we are the solid scaffolding that provides support for what can happen.
