GAVCA has an increasing role in developing some of the functions of a Voluntary and Community Action organisation (VCA) across the whole county. This can be in areas of work which benefit from a countywide response or where it is more effective and efficient to provide a countywide service. Their work includes:
+ training;
+ liaison and representation - bringing together local groups through a "County Assembly" and local Forums;
+ The Compact - an agreement between the voluntary and statutory sectors in the way they work together;
+ Information Services - including an internet discussion group, management of a website (www.gloshub.org.uk) for the Voluntary and Community Organisations (VCOs) across the county, weekly e-mail news bulletins and the development of a countywide database of the Voluntary and Community Sector.
