Stepping Up
The Stepping Up programme is designed to help Gloucestershire’s voluntary and community sector become more financially sustainable. At the core of the programme is the Stepping Up series of Guides and their workshops. Each is designed to give managers enough information on the chosen subject to help their organisations build their own capability and develop appropriate plans to prosper.
The programme is sponsored to March 2011 by Capacity Builders’ Modernisation Fund, supported by the Gloucestershire Infrastructure Group and run from Co-operative Futures.
