Know Your Patch Networks

Coming up within the next two weeks are two Know Your Patch networks and this article is to cover what to expect and to let you know how to book on.

GRCC help to run two Know Your Patch networks, one for the Cotswolds and one for Cheltenham. The Know Your Patch Networks multi-sector networks for anyone involved in the adult social care field, supporting older and vulnerable people to maintain independence and wellbeing. They will often have a theme so be sure to take note of that. Both networks have meetings coming up in the next couple of weeks.

Cotswold Network

The first one will be our Cotswold network which will be held at the Baptist Church on Chesterton Lane on the 26th September between 10am-12pm. This network is for voluntary organisations in and around Cirencester and will provide the opportunity to network with other attendees.

There will be a presentation from the Churn Project who offer support to the most vulnerable and marginalised people of the Cirencester area and this is not one to be missed.

If you would like to book on for this network event, then just email bpond@grcc.org.uk or give us a ring on 01452 528491.

Cheltenham Network

The second network, coming up on the 1st October, will be our Cheltenham network held at The Garden Room, St Andrews Church in Montpellier, Cheltenham between 1:30pm and 3:30pm.

The theme for this meeting will be ‘Housing’ with attendees asked to be prepared to join in the discussion.

There will be presentations from:
