Voscur works to challenge the various inequalities that communities in Bristol experience. We foster relationships, collective action and trust. We enable people to change systems.
We take positive action to ensure resources are invested specifically in those areas, organisations and groups that can bridge the equity gap.
Voscur's Sector Leaders Network links grassroots community activists to citywide decision-making so citizens can shape local strategies and policies equitably.
Equality doesn’t just happen. Diversity doesn’t have to create new inequalities in order to challenge old ones. We use democratic approaches to make Bristol more inclusive.
Communities have never been better placed to lead change after Covid forced new perspectives on inequality. This partnership is planning our next steps together.
