Th e story so far Residents were invited to discuss proposals to set up a Neighbourhood Partnership at an initial meeting last September. The meeting was organised by Community Counts, the Neighbourhood Management programme which was set up to help develop good working relationships between residents and key agencies and to emphasise the importance of developing services to better meet residents’ needs and priorities. Residents discussing the options for forming a In brief… Neighbourhood Partnership for the Barton and Tredworth area. Who’s New?

Funding for the new part-time post was provided by Community Counts, the Neighbourhood Management programme which ended earlier this year. Th e post is being managed by Gloucester VCA, Gloucester Voluntary and Community Action. Ismael took up his new role at the end of February, having previously worked in the legal profession as a criminal solicitor and barrister. He has lived in the Barton and Tredworth area more than 17 years and so is already very aware of many of the issues and concerns facing the neighbourhood. He has previously worked as a volunteer with the Friendship Café and at the Citizens’ Advice Bureau. Th e cost of taking the Bar exam was funded partly through the Community Champions scheme and this is one of the reasons he has been inspired to take up this new challenge. Ismael comments: “I’m really pleased to have this chance to give something worthwhile back to the community. Th is is a one year post so I want to make sure that I use this time to help build a strong foundation that will last in the future.” To contact Ismael, call 332424 (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). New Partnership to Launch in May Th e new Barton and Tredworth Neighbourhood Partnership will be offi cially launched next month and residents living in the area are invited to stand for election for the various roles that have been created. In the meantime, Gordon Barrington has been elected interim chair of the new group. For more information about the launch, see page 4 of this newsletter.

  • Gloucester Area Health Profile June 2010 Gloucester Healthy Living
    Gloucester Area Health Profile June 2010 gloucester healthy living DRAFT 1. Introduction The 2010 Area Health Profile provides a brief overview of some of the main health issues for Gloucester. It does not include comparative locality data on these issues as this is presented in the Gloucestershire Health Profile. Therefore it is recommended that these profiles should be read together. Many factors impact on health and wellbeing in a population. In addition to health care services, socio-economic factors such as education, housing, employment and income have a significant influence. The 2010 Area Health Profile contains information on socio-economic determinants not covered in the 2009 Area Health Profile - employment, income and living environment. It also contains information about some of the typical health and lifestyle characteristics of local populations using a social marketing tool, HealthACORN. An update on some of the current partnership and project work is also included, and finally some recommendations for future work are made. This document is divided into the following sections: • Demographics • How healthy is Gloucester – what are the key issues • Factors influencing health and wellbeing – what and where • What we are doing now • What else we need to do 2. Demographics – now and in the future The geographical area of Gloucester covers 1.5% of the County’s total area and has a population of 114,900 people, which equates to 19.6% of the total County population (Office for National Statistics (ONS) 2008). According to the Office for National Statistics, Gloucester is forecast to have a population increase (2009-2025) of 12.4% in those aged 19 and under (County 2.9%) and a 39.8% population increase in those aged 65 and over (County 48.1%) Gloucester is predominantly an urban area with only 0.3% of people living in rural areas (2001).

  • Gloucester Newsletter
    ANOTHER GREAT YEAR AT FAIR SHARES Welcome to our Winter Newsletter! We’ve had a crazily busy time here at Fair Shares the last year, including our “chance to shine” month at Gloucester Services, numerous trips, events in Podsmead, Matson and of course the very successful Barton and Tredworth Cultural Fair. We’ve also been on our Annual Holiday to Bournemouth; 23 people on 2 minibuses off on an adventure! We went on Monday 9th September for a 3 night stay at the Seafront Travelodge. Although we have been organising this holiday for quite a few years, it was great to see a whole set of new faces joining us for the first time. Apart from rain on the day we arrived, we were lucky to have great weather for the rest of the trip which meant we were able to do lots of activities whilst we were there. Some of us went to Corfe and caught the steam train to Swanage, others went sea fishing, and a huge group of us had a hilarious morning playing crazy golf in the lower gardens. We had a lovely group meal on the final evening and we all had a really nice time together, sharing experiences and building friendships. We’ve had wonderful feedback from everyone, with one person saying it was “the best holiday he’d ever been on”. A big thank you to everyone for making our holiday such a success this year! We still have our regular weekly lunch group, art group, allotment group and the woodworking project is going from strength to strength with new people joining all the time and lots of things being produced for the community, including the lovely flower planters that can be seen down Barton Street.
