Be Part of the Celebration
Join Gloucestershire Social Value Week
Be part of Gloucestershire Social Value Week. We are inviting all our Social, Private, and Public sectors—alongside inspired communities and amazing individuals—to showcase their purposeful impact, action, and change. This is an opportunity to share your amazing story of how your organisation, group, or selfless purpose is supporting and changing Gloucestershire for the better every day.
The Theme for 2025 is: Learn, Lead, and Communicate
We are dedicating a week to Learn, Lead, and Communicate Gloucestershire’s Social Value. Your stories are incredibly powerful; they bond, inspire, and emotionally motivate us to alter our perspectives and seek positive social change. Whether it's a personal journey, a shared experience, or an intended social mission, these stories allow us to see the world through different eyes. They evoke empathy, teach valuable lessons, and communicate complex change in a way that resonates deeply.

We are inviting you to:
- Write a Blog: Share your impactful journey.
- Record a Podcast: Tell your story with The Music Works(www.themusicworks.org.uk).
- Produce a Short Film: Capture your purpose with Still Moving Media (www.stillmovingmedia.com)
Your contribution can be a one-off piece or a series spread across the week.
Key Date:
Monday, 7th April 2025 – Start sharing your story on your social media platforms, linking it to Gloucestershire Social Value Week’s channels, for all to see, share, and be inspired by our shared social mission.
Tips for Sharing Your Social Value Story

Why Should You Get Involved?
- Facing Our Challenges Together:
We are now confronted with the challenge of not only sustaining the environment but also our communities, people, and all other inhabitants of the natural world. Share your amazing story of how your organisation, group, or selfless purpose is supporting and changing Gloucestershire—and beyond—for the better every day. - Cost-Free Participation:
There is no cost to be part of Gloucestershire Social Value Week (except the cost of creating your story). Gloucestershire Social Value Week Branding is available for you to use in your social media content, email footers, and other relevant channels.
