"We really would just like to thank you for your continued support of Allsorts. I cannot stress how important these services are for families with disabled children living in Gloucestershire, and your support has enabled Clarissa, our Family Support Worker, to continue and develop these essential services. Thank you!"

"With GCF's support during lockdown, we moved all of our mentoring and group services online and bought subscriptions to services to enable us to do this including software for online meetings, survey software to evaluate children and young people's wellbeing. We have also been able to run half-term activity sessions for children with disabilities and learning difficulties and their families"

"Huge thanks to GCF for supporting us and other artists with their emergency funding programme. This will help us to continue to support older adults facing isolation."

"Thanks to a Main Grant from GCF, the Ageing Well project supported over 100 people to receive weekly visits or phone calls from volunteers, which gives them something to look forward to each week, and brings news of the outside world to people who are largely housebound. This means clients feel more connected, less isolated, and reassures them they are not forgotten. Pre-lockdown, we had young neighbours visiting four nursing homes, offering company and entertainment to the residents."
